[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16373655, member: 124025"] With the wick turned up and running higher rpm, that weak link starts to surface, but if it's a weaker link than the rods, I'm not sure. It's certainly easier and cheaper to install these than a set of forged rods. If the gears shatter, the engine is done and these are not cheap engines to rebuild. Anyone that builds their engine goes that route, but I haven't seen that many install them in otherwise stock engines. I'm sure it can't hurt anything. BiminiLX comes to mind on breaking the OEM set in his 5.8. Realize the 5.4/5.8 has a .5" more stroke than a coyote too, so crank vibrations will come in at lower rpm than the shorter stroke. [/QUOTE]
