**** man, sorry to hear that. Anything in particular that caused it? or just too much boost. I'm trying to see how long my stock motor lasts, but I have a set of forged rods on the way, another block, crank, forged pistons, ARP main studs, head studs, nuetral balance shafts, and some other goodies sitting in the shop just waiting to be assembled when the stock motor eventually lets go

Im thinking it might have been when we put the rod bearings back in...I wont know until I get a better look. I think it was definately build related and not too much boost or anything

I just can't wait to get the damn motor finished. Been waiting on rods for a while now, finally found a set and they should be on the way. Once they are in, I"ll order the new bearings, and probably the Bates oil pump gear, send out the cams, have my friend clean up the head. and it's gonna be fun times

Dan was running the normal 20lbs. Thats why I say he wasn't overpowering anything in the motor. It was a flaw in the build most likely. If Dan tears her open tonight, we shall know.
Given, he said he was doing a 140+ run and was holding a sustained high RPM, but it shouldn't be anything the motor couldn't handle.

I just put it up on jackstands...whatever it was it happened on the front of the motor. Near the passenger side, above the oil pan, below the intake manifold. Thats all I can see right now...and afaik there isnt anything that runs oil thru there. Least externally and can leak.

Either #1 rod, or something with the neutrals, in the timing area. I put the bearings in, and you tightened/TQ'd them. I know the bearings were perfect. Like everything I do
