Default 3rd times the charm right?

well this is on engine rebuild number 3.... So lets see if we can not spin a bearing this time.. and what the real cause of the 1st two were.....
But at least this gives me an excuse to mod it a bit more...
Getting a matching set of LE heads & Joe Overtons custom grind cam. Hopefully you cant go wrong with the guy who has the fastest NA LT1 in the country.
Should run really stong NA... Engine will be setup for NA but with consideration of future nitrous if i feel the need.

Sucks man, been there with constant engine trouble before. Are you priming the motor with oil before you crank it?(by using that drill tool to spin the oil pump)

Yep primed... Im thinking that the eagle cranks oil relief holes may be the problem.. I kinda find it hard to believe that the last machine shop would machine shit wrong.. its more probably that they didnt check the crank that well because it was new and suppose to be fine..

I have some bad ass heads already kenny... Just need the bottom end to work right and keep it forged for that future just incase shot.
