Default Hix build thread

Well I would post a build thread for my built motor and all that crap, but I bought rods from a SL member... They said they were perfect and he had another reputable SL member check them out but they were not. Had them machined and balanced to no avail. The rod shattered on startup

K1 from Mike (elevation) and Chad (soflatc)

They said they came from a good motor. When we got them the rods were in ____ poor shape. The machine shop said they looked like they went through the pistons on his car.

Moral of the story, never buy parts from SL unless you inspect them in person first.
