Are you using aftermarket main/rod bolts? The "anti-seize" you are referring to is probably moly lube.

OEM on both

My local machine shop used that grey moly lube to torque down the main girdle bolts. They do it all the time on domestics and it has been around forever. I prefer to use oil on the bolts. There's not that much of a difference between the torque values unless you do it dry.

Well I was hoping for the best but......damn

Hmm..I wonder whats the cause of the thrust washer wear...

The news isn't too bad it seems...mostly related to the tune at this point. I think you will be up in no time...

I need to check the crank in that area to see if there is something sticking out catching it. Weird spot for that...

damn coop, ive been watching this thread for a while. gotta say you are having some bad luck!
such an odd area to be worn so much, while the rest of the surface looks great.

Good luck man, I hope Ray gives my motor a clean bill of health. I may have him take the pan off and check just so I can be sure as I'm terrified there is something I should have done that I didn't know about LOL
