[Fot] GT6 Connecting rods

[Bud R]

The number 2 and 3 rod caps both look like they got real hot. In the pics you can see #1 rod cap is the correct color, #2 has been hot, #3 is gone, and #4 is the right color. Now what could cause two rods to get hotter than the others? Two spun bearings? Even the crank is blue at the #3 journal.

Thanks
Bud
