my only worry is now that what polo said..
but i'll show this to the lad thats doing my engine..
hopefully the oil flow was restricted..
@polo.. shed some more light on this please
Noone becoming an expert here apart from folks that know what they're talking about, they're literally passin concern that could save another engine further down the line, how is that frying his head when its merly people showing concern over something maybe that was over looked etc?Quote:

Shitty bad luck though, hopefully get it sorted and it'll be grand
No no nooooo! I was not aiming what i said at anyone in particular... Quite clear they know sr's inside out ;) ;)Quote:

i measured the crank tonight with a micrometer, they measured 54.985-54.965mm i think it was. We had an undamaged crank there too and compaired them both and barts was actually measuring more consitant across all than the good one. It didnt spin any of the bearings.
There is very slight scoring on the journals, you can see them on the surface but are very hard to feel under your fingernail, Not perfect but far from fucked. there was unbelievably little damage on them given the bearings were knackered
Drive 'er on so :D
@JH - No probs ;)
The filter has no one way valve or any thing in it like that, at the end of the day its just a paper element filter in a tin can. oil will flow both ways freely, i dont know the specific oil cooler/relocation kit your using, there is a possablity it might be that but no kit iver ever seen will only flow one way. Yes there is the right way, but the rong way wont kill an engine.
The crank needs to be mesured at at least 2 differant possisions on each jernal where a bearing has gone.
How bad did they go? metal in the sump? or just scored?
Id be bit wary of just sticking some shels in and engine where they failed so soon after a build, thats really fast wear and id be having the oil pump apart to check for scoring and damage.
Yea iv fitted new shells to engines with shell damage befor but none of them knocked and all of them wer due to high miles, not oil probs.
i dont know what relocator is on the engine or how it was plumped up. But i measured all the journals at 3 points (benifit of narrow mic's) and theres no sign of an tapering on them.
The shells were scored alright but i dont know about anything left floating in the sump, it was stripped beyond that when i got there
if the relocater is autobahn 88 or a ebay jobbie bin it will pop engines for fun
we dont know what the make is..Quote:

moment of truth later on today anyway... :o
id do away with it the cause major losses in oil pressure unless there a good make
bad luck bart,
it was a thrust oil cooler..Quote:

Did you measure the bore of the con-rods when torqued up ? Did you check the line bore of the bock ?Quote:

Your 50% right Gem.. The con rods go oval form the pounding and heat. If there not re honed they will cause instant bearing failure again. The line bore is the main bearing caps and straightness through them.Quote:
