I think sutphen 30 wins the prize. I didn't want to prejudice the response but the mains in the block were about 5 thou too big (but then why were they scotchbrited?) and hadn't been aligned. We were also guessing the scotchbrite clearance job and I recently switched to a lighter weight oil. Shouldn't have been any dirt though unless it got there during assembly or debris from the damage or possibly a used oil thermostat housing that was put on.
