Title: Re: That'll buff out... Post by: fastwin on December 11, 2013, 09:36:27 AM I had a Bultaco 250cc Pursang in my old MX days do that to a rod. Pretty sure it didn't have that kind of power. ;D

Look a piston is In the picture. Title: Re: That'll buff out... Post by: Speeddog on December 11, 2013, 06:20:19 PM Yep, the cross head.
That's quite a smooth bend, pretty spectacular. I suspect the rod bearing on the crank failed, seizing to the crank journal, and the other 5 or 7 or ? cylinders were more than happy to continue turning the crank to bend that rod.
