I do believe your correct....mine looked pretty worn...another good hard month on it and I'm sure it would have went....Just can't figure out why it's only on the right side

Italian,

Did you go with an aftermarket rod on your new 686?

Were you hauln' A$$ when you're engine grenaded? Or were you on a Sunday drive?

I was at Glamis on MLK day and I think I was the 3rd or 4 rap that the engine blew on that day. I was racing up banshee hill I think that is what it was called and something went "POP" and it locked up halfway up the hill.

Was your lower end salvagable? Or, did you have to pick up another engine to rebuild?

I had two friends help me on this. One welded the both cases up and the other machined it to match. Got lucky on that one.
