Guess whos back?

OK, well they are inside the rods, and then the bottom part of the rod gets bolted to the top. My friend's car spun a bearing, and he heard the knock, and turned the car off, within 2 secs!!, and then when he took the motor apart, the bearing melted to the rod!! And it fucked up his Crank!

To install you got to take the rods off, and undo the two rod bolts, then take off.

i have a ~160k d15b2 converted to mpfi. it's been turboed since last december. no problems so far.

setup is: t25 @ 8-9psi, 3degrees retard, 1step colder plugs, afc, dsm 450s, dsm bov, johnnyracecar intercooler, stock but new fuel pump, untuned but erred rich side. i dont care if it blows up, but im not going to deliberately make it happen. i did compression check recently and it was all even across.
