> [@Mk4 30R](#): > > wow even OEM rod bolts. alot of the guys running “stock bottom ends” use ARP rod bolts with the stock rods, pistons and bearings… and like you said, that car has been around getting beat for a while now. Yea, stock rod bolts are probably what did this motor in and excessive RPMs is the killer of rod bolts. Missing 2nd at 9K is excessive rpm territory on said component :sad ---

this is kinda funny, i didnt know the car was this well known. I was just at STM sunday for their season ender/cookout. The carnage was pretty nasty but the build is just beginning of course. ;D [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/stm-stock-block-evo-blows-up/239341.md?page=1)
