Not sure I can answer all of that but here goes...The engine builder is warrantying this...very, very upset andd fells bad. I don't want to drop names as things like this can go wrong and possibly not a reflection on him or his work, so far he is taking care of it...I am only out an hour and half of my time pulling the engine out...no problem...and I learn alot
Yes he is tearing down the engine today, so I will fimd out about the adjacent rod and the others
It was cap #3 oil hoiles have been chamfered etc, eased etc. not sure which oil pump was used...but had 60 pounds at start up.
Oil pressure never bottomed...but I never again had 60...now 50 at startup and 40 when warm. The bearing never turned or spun around...but came out of the cap and was all worn...copper in oil and filter after I cut it open
The knocking became more pernounced when the engine was warm...I think maybe the piston hitting the head....was the light knock...will see today when torn down.
Rod bolts were torqued to 50 pounds...sure seems like that when taking off the cap...but .....I'm no expert, I can't answer about the crank pin
