YES, you sound like a broken record.. Plus, you don't read well at all..
I NEVER said what was or wasn't the cause of the rods breaking. Frankly, I don't give a shit. I don't penny pinch when it comes to my builds like some of you clowns. These motors are destined for failure with the way we push them but we want them to last a million years with shitty parts? Makes sense.
I am NOT sticking up for the cranks. I literally know nothing about them at all, other than there is a demand for them because people are too fucking cheap to buy something with more quality.
I will, however, stick up for my sponsors. Placing all of the blame on the builder will ultimately KILL the aftermarket Banshee industry. At some point, the customer has to assume some responsibility too. The industry is far too small for these builders to assume full and total responsibility for these things. We're talking Banshees, not Chevy pickups. It is a very small niche market that just can't have the type of warranty setup like a big auto manufacturer. That's the bottom line.
Anyway, keep on spinnin..
