Metal shaving residue, and concern for rods
Meh…I wasn’t trying to be critical of exact LS6 year models…or any other models that had the rods in the Gen3 designation for that matter…my point was focused toward the terminology of why the rod is referred to as a Gen4 rod. That was all. Fwiw, I don’t put a lot of stock in articles or reference manuals posted on the net. I’m not referring directly to what you’ve posted here necessarily, it’s just I’ve found sooooo many errors in that stuff through the years, from I’ve actually seen in the shop. I’ve got many friends and colleagues in the industry and we discuss posted errors quite often. Again, just throwing info out there…I didn’t read very much at all of the info from the link you posted to fact check any of it.
