This might have been avoided. Local mechanic. Import tuner. 90 dyno pulls to tune!

Reminds of GoManGo's connecting rod failure. Is the stock RE a 6500rpm machine?

@Speedy! wonder if it was number 7?

 

[BULL]

Was it #7?

I bet hitting the rev limiter at 6500 was more like 6800...too much!

The owner has been sending me info. Not cylinder 7, this was cylinder 3 and his broke a rod for sure. Surprised a bump on the rev limit caused the failure, but it might have started the issue during those 90 dyno pulls. Eee gad.

He's hauling the mail now.
