Thanks everyone for the help and info and links.

During the first "build" 7 years ago everything was done. I had 3800 miles of easy driving...but never liked my oil pressure...then the accident, 5 months out of sight in a body shop....who knows

Then the spun connecting rod. During this second rebuild a few weeks back a new crank & bearings....conecting rods checked, sized, shaved etc etc. maybe a few corners cut? thinking it was basicly a fresh motor, throw in a new crank out of the box and new bearings and away we go

Now rebuild #3 after the same connecting rod spun...The builder is doing it all on his dime....I did buy new connecting rods...and I should of done that for the second rebuild.

I think this rebuild will be possibly the best ever!!

If all works out after this...and I think it will....I will still HIGHLY reccomend this engine builder.

If anyone is in the Cleveland area or wants to bring a motor this an this way...pm me direct and I will fill you in.

John
