[pugmanxud]

Hi all, After a good set of HDI rods and shells for my build fairly sharpish. Must obviously all be straight and in one piece

cash waiting

can collect from pugfest.

I've got a spare set ...

oh wait, all straight you say ?

... nevermind

Nothing wrong with a 3 pot XUD

How many brake were you running when it bent?

[zx_volcane]

Anywhere between 180ish and 240ish

[pugmanxud]

So I shoild be okay ish at 200?

I would judge rods bending or escaping from the block on what power the engine is running. It's all luck of the draw even with hdi rods

[Jimbo]

Yeah, people have thrown a rod art idle with standard engines before. But hdi rods defo help. I was worrying at 160bhp on standard rods. Often revving to 5.5k revs and was fine

[pugmanxud]

Okay! cheers for the advice gents, Still need some rods!!

[zx_volcane]

you just up your chances of not throwing a rod slightly running hdi rods, but always keep in the back of your mind that you may have one come flying out at some point

when you get fed up of changing blocks, go forged

[pugmanxud]

As you did?! haha

[strictly_perv]

I have a set I bought off Dave a few years ago, PM Me if interested.

[zx_volcane]

As you did?! haha

thankfully never had one escape, but was pretty close to it

At least your not running a dhy block. Im concerned everytime I get a bit carried away!

The fact your block is a dhy doesn't really make much difference. Once again its all luck of the draw. The fact is that the dhy is the most common block that these engines come with so the bigger percent of blocks that have chucked a rod prob have been a dhy but only cuz there the most common.

Well that my thoughts on it all any way
