Hey Kilodawg, I can always use an extra set of hands. I'll let you know when I'm ready to start the tear down. Let's talk at the Panamera launch at POM on Wednesday.

Hi cgarr, fortunately no one was behind me. Good puff of smoke, but no real oil loss, which is good, because it was right at the kink. I'll post the video shortly.

Grady, I would have assumed that stock rods and bolts were OK at 7500, but Dayton, I'm at 7500 for a looooog time, and who knows, maybe I down-shifted to early a couple of times. Hopefully it will be obvious when I pull it apart. I haven't seen the big end bearing yet, so I can't speculate on an oiling issue. Oil pressure was OK up to that point.

So, I have to ask, how could detonation cause rod bolt failure?

Thanks,

JP
