OIL MODS

Something must have been wrong with that bearing or Rod bolt or the big end of the rod because number 8 never goes away

It has its own oil flow from the back of the motor going through that last main cap.

It is not being fed like the other main caps feeding the rods. Because it is being fed more or less directly from the pump. Where the others are all being fed off of the passenger side oil galley.


That's a good point. Look over your stuff very close. It's usually 3 and 4 that are the last to get oil. All the rods will show some heat from the oil timing being off (when the RPM is high enough) and if you don't catch it 3 and 4 come off the crank and make vent holes in the parts.
