Well..the person before you probly thrashed on it. did it lose power?? im guessing you spun a rod bearing.... its a common thing in our engines,with high miles or raced hard.

proper building procedure/equipment. and correct parts. let it warm up to normal temp before thrashing on it. and um... dont race everywhere you go

not junkparts...i beleave soem of teh best parts out rightnow are clevette bearings( not spelled right ??) L36 conn rods, forged pistons.
It may cost more short term but in teh long run it can save you tons. good name valetrain like comp or crane. just look for namebrand parts and using the correct torque spects always helps wink if you have the ability always build it yourself that way you know what is being put into your engine
