New 408 for the Flyfish
Here are the 2 threads about it...short version, I broke a rod a few feet before the finish line in the 3rd round of a race...won the race, lost the motor.
I think I’m done for the year….
Finally pulled the motor to view the carnage...
On final autopsy (I don't have the pictures right now), the rod got REALLY hot on the big end, burned the journal, bearing was destroyed, rod snapped....not sure why exactly, but probably some type of bearing failure. I also found this awesome valve a few weeks ago from the light tap of the piston.![IMG_2295[1].JPG](https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/attachments/img_2295-1-jpg.1715174645/ "IMG_2295[1].JPG")
