Reply to "Bad Noises from Cleveland"

Here is a shot of the journal. If you can't guess, the affected part is on the left.

The rod and bearing cap show evidence of the bearing scuffing the seats. The rod bearing cap also shows evidence of blueing from heat.

As I look more closely at the damage, and other parts of the motor that I THOUGHT were assembled properly by my engine builder, I am leaning to just taking it to Russ Fulp and be done with it. The previous guy put dished pistons with open chamber heads. That is about 8:1? No wonder I could run 34 degrees initial timing on pump regular with no detonation. He also said he replaced the valves and did a 3 angle valve job. I get the heads off and find a FoMoCo logo on the intake valves and single angle seats.

It is funny, I had the thing dialed in and was thrilled with the performance. Now I get it apart and find all kinds of surprises!
