Unless you happen to get one of two I've built an engine for recently.
Or if it has a reman.
Or if it's been replaced with a newer engine in the last 20 years.
Why is this still an issue?

December 1999 build date on my 2000 model with forged rods.
As others have eluded to, PMR is not an issue until ~450 - 500 HP and by then, there is a lot more going on that should be on the "uh oh radar".
