Are forged crankshafts and rods really a necessity for good reliability and durability on a TT car?
Unless I am misreading their recent posts, both 90Callaway and 91Callaway have performed complete engine rebuilds due to broken non-forged rods, even with pretty low miles on their 90 and 91 TT cars.
What is the forum consensus and history on this? My understanding is that Callaway only used Carillo forged rods and Callies (?) forged cranks on the very last of the production run. If this is true, does anyone know the serial number cutover for the stronger forged items?
thanks,
Steve
