Any 14l up to 15.6L V8 Scania running some decent power had this problem so if your not bending them you not part of the family and you need to gain some more on your performance level. Let me know if you need some connecting rod and yes we build them so you can rebuild your DC16 gen1 from a 127mm bore to a 130mm bore converting from 15.6L to 16.4L

I think it might help that factory ECU does not have bugs in it, not doing any strange things.
