I see you finally took up the advice to get some better rods :P

How we can expect the crank to go bang instead this time.

Which is 1 of the reasons Holden stopped offering steel cranks after the 186 was superseded by the 202. The 186S was the last steel cranked straight 6 Holden built for street cars.

Holden straight 6 only real issue was pistons in 202 and sometimes 186. Top snapping off at high revs/horsepower and rattling around in the bore until the engine was stopped.
