He is speaking of the piston and rod assemblies, not the crankshaft. Or at least that is what I was assuming. And what is this "keep failing" you speak of?

Besides I'm an EE, not an ME (though I had a bunch of ME classes which I hated).

Guys break checking on their 1000s so I run up their ass then gunning it out of the turn so there is little to no chance I can pass them on a straight. One guy almost wrecked himself on his "big-bore" breaking hard into a sweeper then when I tried to pass he drag raced me forcing me back into my lane behind him. I was not happy. He wrecked it the following weekend.

They do this to me at the track all the time and it pisses me off to no end.

He is talking about the gyroscopic effects of the heavier crankshaft in the 1000 versus the 600.

OIC...then yes of course. My bad.
