Not Ranked
Cracked rods are all the rage from what I have been reading. It's a whole lot cheaper to make a MiM conrod, score and snap the big end, and call it a day; than to forge, than machine, then balance. I read they moved the thrust bearing to the middle of the crank. Plastic intake, it's about time. I also read they won't tolerate much of a bore job, but why would anyone want to, who rebuilds motors anymore? Fewer head bolts, that makes very little sense. Oh well, I'll just stick with the original LS-6 in it's mk4 BBC form. That engine I do know.
