Re: Funny Car-Nage: A Billet Aluminum Disconnecting Rod
Well, Im no metalurgist but the way the rod is cracked top to bottom. It looks like there may have been a flaw or a fissure in the metal from the beginning forging process. The top of the rod & piston are broken off due to getting caught in the rotating carnage.

I still check a billet aluminum oil filter can.. @ just 85psi.
even forged can fail. the right definition of "forged" must be had.
maybe they can try some oak tree or mahogany. :Previously boxer3main
the death rate and fairy tales cannot kill the nature left behind.
