I was not trying to punk you out. I happen to have a conversation with a guy that uses aluminum rods in the highest horsepower motors, and I thought it was appropriate to give that information. And I did give the disclaimer that I did not recall the exact conversation. It was quite a few years ago.

That is not true. I talked to a Top Fuel mechanic and he said that the rods will last several events (maybe a whole season, I can not recall exactly what he said), unless they are damaged from a blown motor. The motor is taken apart after each pass where gaskets, rings, bearings, and fluids are replaced. Crank, rods, and pistons are reused.
