Lanky assured me that 8000 reliable RPM was very achievable in the 70s when Bob was racing the TR6. It was the 6350 RPM harmonic imbalance of having only 4 main bearings that brought about crank failure. He stated that they would spend 5k in the 70s on a billet crank, and it could still be counted on to fail before or after the huge counterweight. He said 10 laps, or 100, at some point, the crankshaft was most always the culprit.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>However, given forced induction, he didn't feel that the cast head would be a problem. I wish I would have talked more about porting, but I was focused on the crankshaft and main bearing. Of course, the sanctioning body would have never allowed a 5th main bearing, so it was never a consideration. He told me that they even ran stock rods. Shot peening, sizing, and balance was about all the stock rods needed to survive. I haven't purchased any rods, but am certainly open to opinions on the subject. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>I have never been a budget kinda guy.
