)
I just had this motor rebuilt 10T mile's ago (IMG:

) A few rod's went through the Canton pan! I will post some pic's later, but im sure all of you have seen hole's before!
Im just in a daze still.........I expected something to happen(do this) just not the motor!
I WAS still the fastest guy on the track, turning a 1:37.5 a lap before she went!

If they are pressed in bolts (SBC/LT1) you should resize the rods and they must come out. If they are threaded into the rod (from the bottom) and use no nut you should be ok (if you can get to them).
