What do these bearings tell you?

Where is your oil temp measured, pre cooler or post cooler? I don't see 240 degree oil temp pre cooler causing this. I see it possibly being a symptom of the meltdown happening. What RPM were you at when this burned down, cruise or WOT? From the pictures the skirt clearance looks like it could have been tight, but if it was running lean and detonating you could have the same problem.

MT can you post a pic of the plate with the holes drilled in it on your pickups? I'd like to see it as I think I'll do the same. Thanks

It was about 5200. Afr at that rpm was probably 12's. I have to go by memory cause its tough to write legibly at those speeds. I honestly don't know if that's before or after the cooler. I'm using the threaded fittings on the remote oil filter/ thermostat housings. I'd have to trace the lines to determine before or after the coolers. Is there a standard it should have been set up for?

These engines were spec'd for a 357 formula with kaama's and a wet exhaust. They are now in a different boat. * note going from tall deck to short requires new tailpipes. Who woulda thought 4/10ths would make such a difference?

They were off pretty far. I've got pics somewhere. No way it was going together without cutting/ welding.

Thanks. Even after cleaning the strainers the intake had a baseball sized wad of seaweed up inside it. I have the exact same pic you do. If you blow it up you can see the intake. No screen at all and it was plugged.
