[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16635063, member: 116684"] Going the FTA route, you first have either insufficient strength (material, metallurgy issue possibly), or stress higher than designed for. The stress higher than intended could come from all sorts of factors, including the heavy springs, or maybe some sort of torsional/harmonic stress. I know any sort of engine speed instability, like misfire or anything of the sort, can cause some incredible stresses on rotating components due to the rapid acceleration/deceleration of engine speed.
