Hi thanks for this video. If the surface between rod and cap is slightly deformed is the rod still usable? On 5 rods you can’t tell where the split is but the other 3 can see the split location
Hi, you are right, usually you shouldn't be able to detect the crack only with difficulty. You have reacted exactly right and by taking a closer look. Sometimes you are lucky and there are particles on the surface that can be extracted. However, if the deformed areas of the cracked surface can be seen with the naked eye, we advise against further use of the connecting rods. The risk of problems later on is too high.
