I can tell what Darren is trying to convey with this picture.
It's the photographic depiction of his engine internals current state.. COMPLETELY SAFE

Paps, don't let some of the posters get to you. You are building your own motor and asking questions about things that don't seem right. That's what normal, rational people do. I think you will do just fine as long as you can find a decent machine shop.

You know Darren just sat there and stared at the picture for like 15 minutes, stroking his plugs, thinking about how better that guy's hair must feel.

I seem to recall a ttotd that was from another forum and everyone on that forum was saying that you had to crack it yourself, lol.

You aren't the first person to think that and probably won't be the last.

I have seen this posted a couple of times before along with some pictures of the rods and than one when someone untightened the bolts just a smidge. You could see right there that the rods were cracked but just barely. I think only one of them you could tell it was cracked already.

You better get cracking on those rods Paps....

I built my coyote with boss internals , had the same fun , loosen them up and I Used a hammer handle to hit them with so I wouldn't scar them , Its scary when they crack , trust me , does not seem natural to be whacking your rod till it cracks......

Another fun thing about building one of these motors is the main bearing sizing .... good times.

So how many times did you whack your rod?

Till it cracked

Till it cracked

That is certainly too long.. or was in the beginning? That is not natural tho..

New engine builder in town......he is going to crack my rods for me. I mean, if he can part the Red Sea, then he can certainly handle 8 rods, even if they are from a coyote motor.

^^^ omg... that there made my night

My Boss rods were self cracking. Just loosen the bolts up and use a connecting rod separator. Almost like they didn't need to be cracked.

Psst...... don't tell Moses that. He will be disappointed.
