Ok, Matt has the
engine taken apart.
The crank needs to be ground, bearings need replacement.
A conservative estimate is there are 200 runs on these parts.
Plan is to now check every 50 runs.
Looks like I have
move beyond running the engine the full season without taking a
look.
I'm not funny car yet, not Steve yet, but no longer as much of a
hobby racer as I was.
The rod bearing in
the center of the engine took the biggest hit. They are paired top
and bottom but not paired the way they came out of the engine
There were never any shavings in the
oil filter. It appears they were just hammered until they started to
squeeze out the side and rub against the crank journal. The crank
does need to be ground.
I could not get the
shot I wanted of the cam. The one lobe has the start of a dish at
the top. We will replace the cam with the same grind but with a more
blower friendly lobe separation.
