which molnar rods are you using? i saw 2 different options on dedicated motorsports website when i selected the diamond pistons. sorry if i missed it in the video.
44,000 kms is about a little bit more than 27,000 miles. I have a 2014 ZL1 with about 82,000 miles, about 132,000 kms. It runs great no issues. I've been wanting to add extra hp, I don't take it to the track just street driving, you think the bottom end will hold up or should I do full rebuild?
Really depends on how hard you push it. These engines are prone to have badly concentric cylinder liners when install. So you may have a good one or a bad one like mine. Mine were very off center so basically my walls were thinner one side then the other and when I added more then factory boost and a bad tune, BOOM. 💥 cracked liners. The cranks are super strong , pistons and rods are the weak link.
That's interesting of what you say about the liners. I would have never considered that. Now you got me thinking about getting full rebuild, machined with new liners. Thanks for answering.
This is some great content! I own a 2013 rally yellow vert. she's a garage queen lol. keep posting videos you deserve more subs!!!!
Thanks, will do!
Love the VIKINGS
Yup , always been a fan.
Incredibly helpful video, do you have a diagram of the engine with labeled components? Or how did you know what parts you were interacting with?
I have complete service manual

There are the power adder plus rods. Rated at over 1500hp
Very cool video! How many miles did the engine have before rebuild?
44,000 kms , ran way to much boost in a bad tune I’m thinking is what killed the liners.
