Broke two rods today
I welded them back up though, good as new.
▼ ▼ (Did I ever say they were in an engine?) They are stock Buick rods, either 300 or 340 I'm not sure which. They are on the tongue of the garbage scow I use to take cans to the road. I forgot it was hooked up and backed up too far and they just snapped. Forged would never have done that. Bent maybe. No more cast rods for me. Jim |
