Breathing new life into the 318 in the Scamp!
I think I set them up that way, but there's no way of telling until I get it apart for sure.
I'm betting that the combination of high heat, coupled with these bearings is what did it in.
It didn't knock while I was driving it, but I'm thinking that after I stopped driving, cutting oil pressure back to idle and having the higher temp on the engine from the driving load, it likely did the picky rod bearing in.
