Broken rod at speed, what is next?
I learned today that the issue I had at the last track event was a broken rod. Now pulling big chucks of metal out of the spring plate.
Should I get a second opinion?
Wayne has kindly suggested that he would like to tear down the engine and see what happened. As rods are the hardest part of the engine and should not break on their own. Must of been a rod bolt or some thing else.
Regardless, I am need of a full replacement/rebuild and plan on getting my car back home, pulling the engine, and start the tear down.
Should I sent it to Wayne to make another book out of it?
My mechanic said it was the worst that could of been expected.
And it was a "racing" engine that was fresh 10K mile ago, still in a street car.
PS, I am out of cash and have not other options at this point.
We are considering loading the engine in the car and making a beach trip out of it.
Let me know your thoughts?
Cheers on the day I greneded my engine!
