Well looks like my rods finally let go.. Just when we got a #*$&@ ton of snow.. Just great!

This sucks! Let me know if you run into any trouble getting it fixed. Read your warranty well. Its a good warranty.

I was running between 4 and 5 and the ebc was bypassed.. I had hit the rev limiter in the pass a couple times but i was dialing in my clutching, as for today when it blew, didnt rev over 8600..

did you get a look at the rods were they mild steel?

I did not open anything yet.. Just opened the side panels to see if oil leaked everywhere and there was nothing.. Was going pretty slow when it happened so probably just cracked inside.

Bringing it at the shop tommorow then we will see damage

Another one bites the dust at 90 miles
