from Dave
"busted the top of a sleeve in the vq30. (epic head gasket failure) over heated) these things are pretty tough. stock rods are scary thin and use 7mm thick rod bolts. reving to 8k and over 9k on down changes with 20 pounds boost, pulled from a halfcut.. (with our bolt ons lol) bearings all like new as are pistons.
bigger and better here we come "
