Rofl, did Alex ever show you the thread on [superhighoutput.com](http://superhighoutput.com), where his friend put up a post stating he broke a rod with a stock motor, and they called pics or bs. :lol: ---

Side Note to all who didn’t know, just in case those SHO v6’s are built by YAMAHA. and are built by the same engineers who made the formula one motor’s to i believe? correct me if i’m wrong i don’t want to spread shit. but yea i remember hearing that during the Hard testing where they basically spin them at full load on an engine dyno till they blow up and said something about spinning them out to 10,000 rpm for hours at a time with no blow up’s and at the stock redline they went for 24 hour periods… insane shit. i don’t know if any of that is true or exaggerated but i heard some from a SHO fanatic and read an article somewhere on the intraweb about the testing… regardless it’s a sweet motor stuck in a heavy boxy sedan. ---

JB Weld is the shit. They repair bulldozer engine blocks with it!!! Actually the only time I ever used it was to fashion a drain plug for the rear end in the Mustang. Worked like a charm. ---
