They claimed after inspection it hard Zero damage and was confident it could take that abuse for quite some time.

Last 6.0 colorado build I seen he had just bent a rod, had swapped it for some garage floor rod and was talking about a cpl friends donating headgaskets and arp studs.
That he was going to go ahead and push the engine till it blows.
I did see, but didnt watch when he was about to install the dry shot. so maybe your right and I missed a vid or two.

Been watching him from the beginning when he was chopping up cast manifolds and welding flanges to them.
The guy is very crafty.

So what I'm gathering is that my 03 Silverado ss with 118k miles should be safe to finish my turbo build with just rods and springs if so which one do y'all recommend?
