| Upon teardown, the rods were the obvious damage. But when the flywheels were split the crankpin was found toasted! A groove was found where all the oil passages were. |
| The fun didn't end with the crankpin. One of the areas I has been carefully checking before the motor gave out was the cam chest. I had the cams in and out several times and never seen any damage. So how the busted tooth on the cam gear came to be, I will never know. So until the cam is fixed they also have been replaced. |
| These are the new parts that have been installed in the motor. The Jim's shafts I have been rat holing forever, so I had them in stock. The connecting rods are a "Carrillo" style that are heavy duty and can handle the higher revs. These came from Kiwi Indian Parts. This photo just shows the difference in rods. |

| This is just another angle showing the unusual construction of the heavy duty rods. I believe this is referred to as an H-beam. |
