That picture has been around a few times, the comparison is still pretty amazing.

I've heard that the rod on the left is actually from a 350 Chevy gasser, not the diesel.

I like Ford's "explanation." Maybe they'll come up with something as clever for their 6.0L woes.

I can hear it now...
"The Cummins can't compare to us in drips per hour..."
