I have read a lot of the posts about the 50 series rod bushing issues. Were these fixed by the time the 55 series came out? I do not want to tear it down to check if the issue was fixed. But I do not want to inspect the rods as they exit new holes in the block either.
What can be done for strong reliable rods for these? I am in the early stages of building a bigger engine for "farm stock" with a "modest" increase in power.
In the past, i have seen a few of these engines in 1650-1850 tractors running NTPA super stock class so someone out there might have some pointers.
Thanks
