i guess you didn't read my first post. i checked everything and the
oil was fresh. i drove for 20 miles before i even got on it at all!
Where do you get the idea i "reved it pretty good"? 5,000 rpm is not "reving it pretty good"
i made sure everything looked good. i took it very easy for 20 miles or so.
the engine is a 2002 392 SVO Crate Motor. 5,000 RPM shouldn't have caused that problem.
