I messed up when I assembled my motor last Nov. without making sure the block and crank were clean. I was just in a hurry to put it in to shake it down at the last race of the year. Well, it ran fine but the oil press. was low and when I took it out I found out it wiped out the rod and main bearings.

I had to have the crank cut -.010 and all new bearings and gaskets. Now I am puttining it together again for this season with my pockets about $600 lighter.
