I have asked that it be completed soon, we are shooting for the next two weeks. Our initial review suggests a machining defect in the fillet radius as the initiation point, However a problem also exists within the microstructure of the material. The combination of the two appears potentially fatal.
On the good side, if the data proves out, we should be able to offer a fairly accurate NDT acceptance model for checking the microstructure of the material before installation. Here is a hint for the sharp eyed!

Hi Jason,
any additional info regarding your analysis which I can pass on to Keith ?
I am ordering the new short block and would like him to take special care in the crankshaft selection. Your info may be helpful.
Thanks
Stefan
