[QUOTE="seank, post: 11991622, member: 137223"] I've only seen a couple guys who did the rods in but I'd believe what the coyote engineers said, when they stated they were the weakest link. Why lie about such a thing? Were the pistons actually the problem or was it crap rings or broken valves that beat up the piston after being reved too high? In reference to the oil pump gears. How many reported failures are there and at what power levels and driving conditions? I have not looked into this at all. Are guys just blindly replacing them because they are plastic and they already have their block apart or are there lots of failures that have happened? The tuning comment is blatantly obvious. You can build up the the best long block with the best parts and have it put together by the best builder. If you install it and have Jon Doe of backyard tuning calibrate the thing you are setting yourself up for failure. On ANY engine tuning is what keeps you on the road and not cursing in the garage.
