Yep, one of those Forrest for the trees things. I scrolled back n forth across those pics at least 3 times and missed it each time.

Do like the motor hook, have used similar before

What’s going on with the builds? Why won’t they stay running?

first engine broke a cam shaft into 3 pieces. 15 minutes old (fresh build port engine) second engine took out 4 lobes on the cam shaft that then took out the main and fried the crank. (fresh build starboard) got 6 hours out of this 1
the rebuild starboard spun a main again. don't know why yet, but I have a few guesses. Got 7 hours out of this 1 New machine shop is involved now.

I would definatly change something in your recipe! New machine shop is a good place to start with! Good ( or better) luck next time!

2 motors ate up the cams? Seems rather odd. Same assembler each time?
