I literally peed my pants when you said you were going to sell her! I felt like a creeper watching your build video haha.
Glad to see your keeping her and I hope all goes well! Can't wait to see what kind of power it puts down after yet another tear down. ;)

I called him yesterday. :pQuote:

Wonder if the crank is bent but balanced.
The crank was brand new from the dealer and unlike most of them I've recieved this one arrived in a box that wasn't in horrible shape. I asked the shop to check it for straigtness even though it was new. I didn't verify that they had done it when I picked up the balanced, ready to install assembly. Maybe that was one of the few times when it would have been OK to insult them by asking. I think they would have told me it was checked & good regardless since they had already said it was ready for pickup.
If it was bent do you guys think it would have been good for 1000+ miles of normal driving? I had no issues until I put my boot in it, revved it over 4500, and started making 550+ Tq.
I am noticing that the smallest of debri particles are to blame for simple bearing washout with 6G series engines. I used a twin Purolator oil filter setup with this last build that I did but before anything, I literally made a make shift clean room to assemble the engine in. I built the engine in the cleanest environment possible and BAM whada ya know...I checked the bearings and despite my best efforts, 1 piece of debri managed to go around the bearings of rod 3. I am throwing another set of Bi metal bearings in it since they can handle any possible debri better than tri metal bearings. All the other bearings looked great which was a nice sight. I don't know what bearings you are using or how the environment is that you are cleaning / assembling the parts in but that's all it takes is a small fragment. Take your oil pan to the machine shop and have it cleaned along with your valve covers.
I also noticed that washout is happening within or before 500miles. I also tore apart both my filters and they where full of shit but as I said, the rest of the bearings looked great. This build was also the first time I used a twin filter setup.
I dont really know man. You are far more knowledgeable with these than I. It was just a thought. Seems being out of balance should of worn the outer mains as well. But Ray has seen more bottom ends than a doctor so he's probably right about the balance.
I know you're looking for answers at this point Trevor, but I would like to reiterate my son's (OhioSpyder'sKid) feelings that I'm glad you're sticking with this....
You always have, and will continue to be a VERY positive force for our platform (Thank You)
Bob.
P.S. I felt like a creeper watching you as well ;)
That's just WRONG on so many levels....but probably TRUE :)Quote:
