F'n sue the dyno guy...
stng said:I think the dyno guy is responsible... Unless you had 100k + miles on your car, and even then you shouldnt have blown a rod, maybe a bearing but not a rod. The guy overloaded your car and snapped your rod 99.9% sure. I would talk with him and see if he will own up to any of the replacement cost, if not put him in touch with your attorney and contact the better buisness beareu, and the beareu of automotive repair...

the guy who owns the car and was there said THE DYNO OPERATOR DID NOT OVERREV THE MOTOR i think it's irresponsible to blame this dyno operator with no proof that he caused the problem..
now if this car was reved to 7k plus rpms then i would say yes he is at fault.
do we know what the air fuel ratio was at the time of the failure?? was the motor detonating???
before we throw fuel on a fire lets get facts straight.
remember the guys shop name is on the dyno sheet and that name is now on this board. so please a little proof before this shop gets blamed.
remember to tune the car they have to run it.
first thisng we have to know is the ari to fuel ratios durring both runs. and was he making adjustments on the second run when it blew.
