Then why aren't the rods that bad.............in fact some of those bearings looked almost reusable. No bluing on rod bearings ......some shiney but thats it.
The rods get oiled through the crank..........

Grant.....I did see your other posts and point well taken . I used restrictors in the old Gen 1 stuff and still had starvation issues...........
HOWEVER , starvation never happened as fast as this............ 1RUN? ........Maybe 2? I mean I ran it TWICE and trailered it. It had great oil pressure in the shop......
A new pan , pump and accumulator on the way. I will definately measure lifter to bore clearance ( Carl ).
I want to know about the oil band lifter issue? I'm using Comp plus .300 std rollers. No fancy rollers here.
