I also think that I may have had a crank that was no longer true, whether it was from a belt grenading at wfo or what I don't know. But it's my only explanation for the pto side being the only one detonating. If you ask around a majority if not all of the etec rod failures have been pto side.
Nothing new here and it doesn't require a turbo. Engine #2 in my XP was just like your friends at 500 miles, rod exploded. I shipped it back to skidoo for inspection, as I felt I got a short block with a defective crank. It was a waste of time & money, in the end I broke out my checkbook & bought another short block. #3 lasted over 3000 mi. #4 isn't installed yet.Your rod broke exactly just like my friends. Has 300 miles on his and he blew a belt WFO a few days before. We have zero blueing of the lower rod, actually looks brand new. No det sensor or indication of anything wrong. It was his last day of the trip and heading home on the trail he let off and got right back on it and it was all over with.
After thinking about this. I had a belt delaminate the day before. Didn't blow just had a bad vibration. Now I am wondering if that anything do with it.I do believe det was a huge factor in my particular blow up but the fact that all the rod failures have been pto side leads me to believe that there is an underlying issue. Allot of guys have been taking rods out shortly after belt failure, it possible that the sudden loss of load at wfo is causing the cranks to tweak slightly with det being the finishing touch?
