Hi All,
Sorry about the delay but I only just got around to updating my web site with the pics of the conrod that broke in my engine.
if you goto http://www.marxmotorsport.com
click News
then click the update for the 14 Feb 2005
The page that opens up shows pics of the broken rod (and the various bits).
No the rods were not prepared in any way, and were still using the factory rod bolts. This engine was completely stock internally and was pulling around 7800 - 7900 rpm.
The engine was just a replacement while I am waiting for the proper race engine to be finished. The race engine will have the bearing gaps set properly and use LS1 Chev ARP rod bolts.
