Yaris Intake Manifold

[richardholdener]

Thanks Rockland for the insight on the previous post regarding con rods-it is appreciated. Piston slap, offset crank pins-where do these guys come up with this stuff? I can remember when the light clicked on for me, the day that I realized that I didn't know everything and in fact knew very little. That is the day I officially started learning. Unfortunately, people put forth much more effort convincing others of their knowledge than actually obtaining it. For the record-Rod failure is caused by tension loads (rpm), extreme compression loads (detonation or extremely high power levels) or fatigue cycle life (extended operation near fatigue). Since none of the other situations were present-we must suspect detonation as the culprit, but will perform a post mortem to see if there is any evidence. The 1NZFE rods do not fail by design, neither did the Honda rods or small block Ford rods or any of the many powdered metal production rods-the culprit has almost always been a tuning error. There is a limit to the power production with the production rods, but since (in the case of this yaris) we were nowhere near that absolute power limit
