Took the oil pan off today to fix a small leak in the back. Since the pan is off, good time to check things over. So far it looks good.

Does Fowler use a serrated cap and rod or is it pinned?
Back in the day I used Groden rods because he used pins. Those things were freaking nice. If I could buy them today I would and I’d run them on the street.

Yeah, thats a far better way to decide the cap than serrations.
Did the new owners go to serrations?

How many runs do you get out of those rods before you change them out? I know that in the "old days" aluminum rods were cycle limited, due to fatigue. Not sure if that's the case anymore.

I can’t think of the company that bought them out at the moment. Think it’s a blower company?
With the 355” W2 I have BME aluminum rods. 320 runs I would change them out.
With this 414” W8, it makes way more power then the 355” and it sees higher rpm’s. 250 runs and I will change them out

Larry Morgan Racing bought Fowler rods. took me a while to remember but the good part is...... i did remember!!!!
Do you know if he changed them or left them alone?

I haven’t reached out yet. I should do that just to know if they are still making the rods. I’ll need a set in 2 years.
