conrod went south need suggestions
#1
i have a EB modded O.S. .30 and the conrod snapped, not bad just where it attaches to the crank.

i took the engine apart and there isnt a scratch on the sleeve, the piston doesnt even have any discoloration or not even a scratch on it

everything else ont he engine checks out fine, can i just replace the conrod? or do i have to get a new piston and sleeve too?

im leaning towards just replacing the conrod because everything else looks in great shape, the engine on the inside looks practically brand new the piston top looks like the day i got he engine, still shinny


thanks for ur advice here

i know how it broke, i had a runaway at full speed and i still had steering and was faced with let it just keep going or hit hte curb, i hit the curb, but when i got to it it was still running so the impact probaby cracked the conrod then it just broke

everything ese looks good thou

now i didnt say that Smile

the front right wheel went air borne, total damage, the Cv broke in half, the turn buckle, the king pin broke in several places


it was running after the impact then died, i onl found the engine damage after fixing the engine and then noticing it had a clanking noise when i rotated the fly wheel
