They were all second generation, 98-01s. As for preventing it, not much. Keep the oil clean (frequent changes), run the right weight for ambient conditions, keep the tires at or within 3 psi of sidewall maximum pressure. Any and everything you can do to keep the stress on the engine lower. Oh, and run the belt with a much lower tension level than the factory states.
My Savage is set hyper lean, has a basically open exhuast, and regularly saw 100+ mph runs. When I replace the gas tank and front brake hose, it will again. -WD
