What was it?
Ive never heard of a arp rod bolt failing unless it was fitted wrong.
Ive seen engines with 2 rods through the block, but the big end still firmly attached to the crank due to the arp bolt

You do realise that if Dans car is back on the road before yours he will NOT let you forget it. Ever.
