Who's is the chinese rod ? Was this from an XUD, I didn't know one had actually failed but interested to see what specs the block was before this happened.
I think there must be varying qualities available but if it comes down to a question of strength i've seen the chinese rods pushing HP way higher than the stock XUD/HDI rods would take.
The oil issue you mention above cannot be a huge problem as i've never heard anyone have an issue, but If this gets sorted I cannot see the actual strength of them being a problem if it is forged from the factory with a different design. What is the issue you mention with the oil starvation.
