I posted rod like that last year. I think many possibly all bent before snapping. Its just the average driver wont catch the warning signs that something bad is about to happen. The engine will not be running 100% on all four. It will feel like a slight misfire. In my case there was also a faint noise as rod hit lower edge of case.

Aaron was this an E-85 or meth tuned car ? What power level was he at? Looks like
a lucky catch.
I always wondered if my occasional morning misfire at cold start up was an indicator that I
did not heed before my block windowed. BTW mine cut loose just mildly motoring from a parking
garage......2 to 3 K rpm max.

An old DSM buddy of mine bent a 2g dsm 7 bolt rod while sitting on his studder box. No anti-lag or excessive time. The motor started hesitating, missing, etc. Upon conducting a compression test, once cylinder was low vs others. When the motor was dissasembled, he found that the rod had bent.

Im on 92 oct, green HTA, i think it ended up around 390 at 31 psi and we detuned to 370 ish for daily driving at 27 psi. No meth or e85 yet. Glad I finally get to see this, crazy though. I did feel a couple misfiring, not driving right before I sat the car and did a compression test. Glad I didnt run the car any further before calling and finally getting everything built up. Was that the only rod Aaron? Everything else looked fine?
