What do you call "settled"?

I am sure that many people do make 450kw with the stock rods - maybe more - and some may have failed at less.

Why is high revs a no-no? Lots of RB26 fans will say spinning them at 9 or 10k is the fun part.

If you have a question such as " I want to build a 450kw Rb26 and won't rev it over 8K - do I need to replace the stock rods?" you might get some useful answers.

Im waiting for the threads that are about to follow this one.

Like the how many Kw can the stock pistons and rings, or rods or bearings take.

Better still lets start a how long is a piece of string, thread.......

70kw's all day every day at 9krpm each. Why do you wish to know. Pretty pointless thread. If the motors apart for the $600 bucks a set of forged H BEAMS are you wouldnt bother with the stockers.

Do the bolts always break first, or are the rods failing too?

Good question also curious. You see people occasionally fit arp bolts and having to resize the rods and rebalance with aftermarket pistons. The $$ probably comes out similar to cheap forged rods that come with arp 2000 bolts

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
