Why do parts fail?
« on: August 07, 2024, 11:35:37 PM »
A couple of guys rabbiting on about overstressed parts.

I didn't pick up on the solution. but they didn't seem to recommend ball or roller bearings for a crankshaft.

i assume our guzzles with a one piece crankshaft and slipper bearings are less likely to fail.
