Clois Harlan Sorry about the motor. 20 psi of
oil pressure at idle is not enought. This motor has small bearings to start. This is why alot of the strokers are using chevy rods, wider bearings. I have just put an accusump 3 qrt on my car. It will preoil also. When the motor is pulled apart what bearing was spun?? Do you have the
oil limiters going to the heads for the rockers? The pressure valve for the
oil sound like it was suck partially open. 5500 rpm is not going to hurt any motor unless you are doing long high G sweepers. Give George a call and see if he can give you any help. I want to see you at Run&Gun this year. Lew too, with the gas powered blender. I would check the cam bearings also. Hope you find the problem
Talk to you soon. Rick Lake ps stroker small block are cheaper to build but there is nothing like a FE. I know this will start some noise.
