Hi Dantheman2,
I was suprised by that reaction from you. looks like I caught you taking your eye off the ball.
Sit down, think about it a little and as the penny drops really slowly you will feel your top lip curl with contempt.
Best regards,
Steve
P.S. I thought it could have been 'forged' because it was hot iron.

And Brinty, I've blown motors before and have seen plenty of blown motors in my time. That's why high performance motors usually have high strength connecting rods, and at least a 4 bolt main bearing cap if not a 6 bolt main bearing cap on the crank shaft at the end of the connecting rod, the piston is usually not the weak part, funny story though!
