ok i guess that's a non answer ;) stock 1NZ rods break on fully stock xA/B's due to high RPM's for extended periods of time. toyota fixed this by giving you Yaris people taller gears (better highway cruising) ..
if you read the write-up done by elprototypes on boosting the 1NZ the rods are the first things to go. the engine is over-square and offset crank which causes piston slap (which is obviously made worse by boost) and ultimately rod failure. there is no "speculation bandwagon" on the 1NZ.. it's been around almost 10 years..
is this your first 1NZ vehicle, Richard?
