sounds like good news. Its the rod bearings for cylinders #2 and #7 where oil starvation always occurs.

use Clevite 77 tri-metal bearings, and while you're in there replace the connecting rod nuts if they haven't already been replaced.

I hope that is all there is in the way of damage. I've been reading you Facebook Cleveland page for all the tricks. I noticed that my rod bearings do not have a groove, but the ones on your page do. Is that an important feature? My plan is to check the chamfer on the crank oil holes, replace the bearings, and install the Kevko pan. Will this be adequate insurance against another problem like this? I don't track the car, but do drive the pee out of it on mountain roads and hard street launches.
