Re: Severely overheated motor... what to look for?
Kevin makes a very good point. I normally crack test the crank and rods at each planned periodic stripdown. I have had cast cranks that have lived for a lot more than 100 hours without cracking but these were carefully detailed, tuftrided, carefully balanced and not used over 6400 rpm. The rod set with this crank was replaced as I would find these would crack as the hours got up on them.

But yeah I am having ALL the parts crack and leak tested. New Diamond forged pistons/rings on order, reusing my SCAT H beam rods, just waiting for pistons to come in so I can drop all that stuff off at the machine shop.
