No Patrick no issues at all the sudden stop i believe was the shock that did in the roller lifter.
i want to make something perfectly clear......
"i did not spec out this motor."..."nor did i build this abortion..."
i will not get into who did this or that because it doesn't help anyone.
yet to take out the crank, so actual
oil PRESSURE issues i can't verify.
pressure was good on the motor up til i shut her down before teardown.
70 lbs cold, never dipped below 45 hot.
block is a marine block so any
oil delivery issues will be reflected in the mains
with the rods the wear isn't a lack of
oil, it is contamination. The from where is my question.
once it completely apart, i will torque the rods to spec and see if they are actually round, the bearings to the naked eye look deformed radially, and they are 743V clevite, personally i would not have used them.
