It is official, rods are toast. Now rebuilders

Slant 6 is notorious for poking the #5 rod through the left side of the block. Complete bottom end rebuild at minimum.

Is that the one that gets the least and/or last oiling?

Guess which cylinder has the weakest and outlining compression....#5 !


Small blocks I heard it's #5 and #6. And surprise-surprise, #6 is what let go on my motor.
