Default RE: DLE 55 Connecting Rod Bearing Failure


ORIGINAL: pmerritt

Sounds like a high rev with 93 octane sent the bearing into lah lah land.
Definitely not a high rev situation. Straight and level flight at 3/4 throttle spinning a 23x8 TBM prop. I'm chalking it up to a crappy bearing that decided to puke its guts out. [8D]
