Turbonetics and Vortech Engineering both stand behind their racers

"seen that someone was asking about larry coopers motor, he broke a rod was not the blocks fault he has since got it back together but it did take a new block,it was damaged by the rod beating on both sides at 7k rpm. but it was not a problem with the block."

You think maybe the car standing on its bumper might have had something to do with the connecting rod failing (due to lack of oil, maybe?) Naw, that could never happen.

Course the block never takes any stress when it is tied into the chassis and you drop the chassis from 13 feet up either, right?
