Nothing wrong with a 3 pot XUD
How many brake were you running when it bent?
RE: HDI rods and shells - zx_volcane - 06-07-2014
Anywhere between 180ish and 240ish
RE: HDI rods and shells - pugmanxud - 06-07-2014

I would judge rods bending or escaping from the block on what power the engine is running. It's all luck of the draw even with hdi rods
RE: HDI rods and shells - Jimbo - 06-07-2014
Yeah, people have thrown a rod art idle with standard engines before. But hdi rods defo help. I was worrying at 160bhp on standard rods. Often revving to 5.5k revs and was fine
RE: HDI rods and shells - pugmanxud - 06-07-2014
Okay! cheers for the advice gents, Still need some rods!!
RE: HDI rods and shells - zx_volcane - 06-07-2014
you just up your chances of not throwing a rod slightly running hdi rods, but always keep in the back of your mind that you may have one come flying out at some point
when you get fed up of changing blocks, go forged

thankfully never had one escape, but was pretty close to it

The fact your block is a dhy doesn't really make much difference. Once again its all luck of the draw. The fact is that the dhy is the most common block that these engines come with so the bigger percent of blocks that have chucked a rod prob have been a dhy but only cuz there the most common.
Well that my thoughts on it all any way
