You may work for Wade but the motor was not done by Wade at all. Mike Schelton of Small Blocks Unlimited (the same guy that sold Wade the Lenco setup) did the motor design for him. Wade supplied the money. Mike worked with another Mike and myself for the design of the rod/piston combination for the motor. It was no big deal but the way that Wade is trying to tell this is BS! Wade has been a teller of tall tails for years and everyone knows it and he is at it again. :blahblah1::blahblah1::blahblah1:
As far as coming to the shop you are correct I’ve never been there, nor do I plan to be, but that has nothing to do with what I know about the motor or rod/piston combination in it.
Anyone who would like Aluminum rods for a Duramax built the same as the ones in Wades motor is free to contact us as it seems Wade thinks we know nothing about them. They use custom pistons as the wrist pin size was dropped to a Hemi pin size 1.156”, crank pin size is BB chevy and the rod length is longer since his was destroked at 6.535” from the stock length of 6. 419”. So basically you have a BB Chevy rod with a Chrysler Hemi wrist pin in it. They run $2195 a set and take about 8 weeks from order date to make. You also cannot fit an Aluminum rod in the motor with a stock crank pin size as there is not enough room.
As I've clearly stated before you have to make the crankshaft counter weights like Swiss cheese to get enough heavy metal to do an internal balance job and Wade you just admitted what I said. Now if you’re not smart enough to realize that cutting all that parent material out of the crankshaft and installing a soft heavy metal weakens it, that’s your problem not mine! :badidea: Just think, yours was only with Aluminum rods, now add more weight with steel rods and the problem get worse, use an LBZ crankshaft and it get worse again due to those crankshafts using more external weight to start with!

We have not had any issues with bearings in our race engines; they are checked once per season, no girdle, no internal balance. Believe it or not we use just a well setup block with main studs and a good balance job using the stock damper. We do replace the damper about once a year or whenever the rubber starts to look bad. We have had one crankshaft crack after three seasons of racing it but if you race, that is expected. We tear the engines down every season and the crankshaft is crack checked at that time.

We can get them made up pretty much however you want. Compression ratio's from 14:1 to 19:1 with bores ranging from 4.055" - 4.185"
BS!!!!!!!
You are lost son.
Mike sold me the lenco and sold me the rods @ dealer cost, i gave a design blueprint to mike shelton and he faxed them to the other mike and he made them exactly the way i requested.....You are a idiot to belive otherwise:doh:
And your specs are STILL wrong you dont know **** about this build....:redx:
Crank was destroked to 3.650 and the rod length is 6.545....Yet you built these....LOL Your a tard that needs attention.
Where are the other specs i asked you for????????? Oh thats right you have no idea because you had NOTHING to do with this build!
Your idea that internal ballance weakens the crank is again, like everything else you spew WRONG. Why does the most powerfull engines in the world run internal ballance engines????
Did you mom or dad pass on to you ANY Common sence.....:nail:
Oh year ****face, why after TWO YEARS of this engine build completion would you Try to claim this now??? Bussines slow? Pay checks small? Penis small????
Your a Fraud, a Phoney,a Wanna Be innovator, Copy cat, your a fricken FAG....
OH yea Steve you dont design nothin i talk to most of the industry and they laugh at you. All the steel Rods you relable were designed/ built by Mike @ R&R, NOT YOU! Unlike you i get things made from MY designs and innovate FIRSTS, which you would know nothing about. Matter of fact i bet i have more first to markets than you have copyied products.....
You can try your best here to defame the truth, but there are way to many who know the truth and YOU LOSE! Go find someone else's ideas to "Claim", Queerbate.
Steve riding the coatail of a innovator will do nothing for you but get you dirty.
