Always figured my ECU would get zapped if the engine failed within warranty. This is a thing, right?

Thanks Diggs, you're the man! I feel like I havent seen many bent rods in these engines regardless so I'm not gonna worry too much about big power.

Seems like when they go they snap, not bend.

All the engine failures I've seen in which it was a rod issue the rod ejected itself from the block. I have seen melted pistons and holes in block, but no bent rods. Then again, I'm not on facebook or instagram which seems like that's where more info is vs this forum.
