Disregard any earlier post about saving anything oil related. We’re no longer talking about fine shavings and dust. The oil pan and pickup tube had chunks in it. It’s all getting replaced at this...

I don’t know where the clearances were prior. First time I’ve been into the bottom end of it. Explains everything though. Metal shavings and hot oil. As soon as I put some rpm’s to it, it was eating...

Update. I tore the motor down today. Cam was not the problem. I spun rod bearings on 2 and 4. Mains didn’t look great either but rod bearings are shot. So, machine shop time to see if the crank can...

I was afraid someone was going to mention that. Lol. It’s a brand new oil cooler with less than one hour run time on it. I feel like I have to at least try to clean it. I’m thinking about removing it...

I will be rerouting and installing new hoses when I reassemble. I plan to route to filter first and then cooler. Just makes more sense to me. I would think hot oil would flow better through the...

I just checked my hoses again. My oil flow path is correct as far as direction but it does go through the cooler before the filter. It must have been done this way from the factory because the hoses...

I agree. It does make sense to filter the hot oil and then send it to the cooler. Mine go through the cooler first then filter before returning to the block. They were rigged that way when I bought...

Unfortunately, I’m better new bearings are going to be needed as well. I think I have settled on Lunati retro rollers for the next round. 226/236 114 LSA. It’s the closest I can find to a crane 731.

Definitely do it twice. I thought I had everything ready to rock before I put a load on the motors but it didn’t work out for me. Waste of time and money. To be fair, I was warned not to do it. I...

I’ll bet you’re right. They should have been able to spin freely. They slide in and out of the bores easily and can be rotated in place. But they likely didn’t rotate under pressure. I’ll be back in...

LOL, it does rhyme and I used their assembly lube. The cost difference really comes down to the roller lifters you use. I have no problem paying $400 for a roller cam but $700 for a set of lifters...

I’ll get it back together but it was definitely a big setback. I can swap cams quick and flush it out but I won’t have any peace of mind until I check the lower bearings. I really hope they’re intact...

Well, was hoping for a simple fix but not the case. I pulled the intake and found shavings in the valley. Looks like I probably wiped a cam lobe out. I’ll have to pull it to verify. Lifters looked...

Thanks, I will double check the hose routing. I’m really hoping something external is the problem and it’s not the oil pump. Just seems odd to me that I have 60 psi idle and temp barely goes up then...
