Analyzing Connecting Rod Failures by axleburner is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The connecting rod in an engine is under tremendous stress from the reciprocating motion of the piston. Failure of the connecting rod, known as "throwing a rod", is a common cause of engine failure. Connecting rod failure can result from fatigue near a defect, lubrication failure from poor maintenance, failure of the rod bolts, or over-revving the engine. Production auto parts have greater safety factors and quality control compared to parts used in competitive events, making connecting rod failures less co
