why an lt1 and not an l98? for rod bearings that is...


Actually, I was under the impression it was wrist pins... there seems to be a belief that they are weak. I haven't seen enough empirical data to back it up, considering the rotating masses are nearly identical.

I have seen the wrist pins get yanked through a cast piston in a high rmp motor making decent power.
