Rod Bearings are Done :(

Apparently burntorange didn't want to hear what I had to say.The whole thing needs to be disassembled and done right. It is obvious to me that something wasn't machined properly, the wrong parts were used, or proper cleaning wasn't done. He can fix it however he sees fit but he asked for suggestions and got them. The oil pressure/ bearing problem was possibly caused by the antifreeze problem but why that happened is still a mystery! toolmanmike Good luck burnt.

Want to hear? If you read 4 post up...It says the motor is apart..Will be washed by the shop and by me. All new bearings.. The rod problem was either the machinist or the anti freeze. I check the clearances when it was put together and they were stock specked. Why is it a mystery why there was antifreeze..? Your not going to get a long explanation on how it got in there. I told you what I did and fixed it. Once again I dont care if others dont put the end gaskets and their fine. Mine on that day and the other 3 times did not seal until I put the end gaskets. And yes all the bolts were tight.


The point of this thread was to show that I did have reason to worry about my oil pressure and to ask what I should do..not to play CLUE and find out how the anti freeze killed only my rod bearings...

Everything is apart and will be cleaned twice, with new bearings and the specs will be checked again after is done.
