I did a leakdown on my motors coming out of my boat...it's been all downhill since then.

Guess how many hours are on these bearings?

I'm gonna guess you were hoping for quite a few more than you have on it before you got this deep

They look like they have 300+ hours on them, I freshen my blown 540 every 120 or so hours and they have always looked like new (h series running on a 4340 crank that is permatoughed ) running about .0028-.003 main and .0033-.0035 main or so clearence, Smitty

Doesn't look good, any gas in the oil ?

bajabob 02-20-2012 05:24 PM

ya running too rich will do that

yschmidt 02-20-2012 08:23 PM

I never had gas in the oil. They never ran really rich either. I'll add some pictures of the cranks in the morning.
