... Lugging the engine is what puts the most strain on the rods.. I learned bout that back in 63/64.. I put 3 sets of rod bearings in a brand new 63 Ford pickup.. I was towing a mobile home with too tall of a gear..


Hey Jim,
What is your theory behind lugging the engine loading the rods differently than during normal operation? I am not doubting you, I am just curious for a little more of the theory behind it.

Thanks,

Sean
