New Scat cranks, blocks alighn honed, decked, hot tanked, cleaned, clearances double checked and documented, coated H- series bearings, rotating assemblys balanced, HV oil pumps, bypasses gone, I hope I have covered it all, I have been anal about cleanliness since I think that was part of the problem before, found the alighn hone was not great on port engine, that prob contributed to the issue with that engine, I basically just made sure what could be done was done so we'll see!!!

Good luck, FullForce. It's been a long project but it will be worth it when you're sitting at the Casino drinking a beer or 12.

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but what actually failed in the engine?
Congrats on being a step closer!

Thanks, both had main bearing failure, one seemed like contamination, other was lack of oil, thats the best we could come up with, I had alot of guys check it out. I decided just to make it all right for sure and start completely over.
