I’m not arguing I’m stating facts. So calm down and quit yelling Street Hemi K members has skid plates and the engines had a deep oil pan Since 1966. Where do you get a 1/2” oil pickup for a shallow pan? Neither of these are on the pictured car. Why wouldn’t they use production parts That...

Where is the skid plate and the deep oil pan? They had those in 1966.

The one piece that damaged that bearing is probably imbedded in the bearing. The oil passages are clean because no other bearing is damaged. Replace bearing and go. A machining defect didn’t do this damage. Agree don’t use scotchbrite inside and engine that’s going together. Talk about...

Agree, but if was racing this I would want to know what the bearing clearance is. Yes debris did this not a clearance problem.

If the journal looks good then replace the bearing and go. Measure the journal first to be sure. Also measure the rod and main bearing clearances so you know what you’ve got in there, and what weight oil to run.

Pretty light weight for that size car, good job. Shouldn’t have burnt fluid in 18 passes. That’s AFU. The cheetah valve body will make it work good. As long as the front pump is right to make pressure.

I’d leave that 4.2 or go to a 3.8 lever. what is wrong with your trans now? Was it rebuilt once recently? how much does the car weigh? How much power will it have? What converter will be on it? How much rear gear?

Take it from a trans builder: 1) the cheetah valve body is excellent. It will solve many problems. 2) Do not use a 5.0 lever, it will cause problems if you don’t have the super heavy hemi 5 disc drum. and why is it always the hardest to get to freeze plug that leaks?

I said that I don’t want to see them, YOU can have all you want and love them for all I care. why am I arguing POS shoebox chevies on a mopar website??

If I never see another tri-five Chevy that would be great! Way over done. Can’t take it any more. yes the 58-61 GM’s are cool cars.

Why do you think that car weighs 5000 pounds?

I say your bearings are fine. Plenty of oil in them from being primed twice. And you didn’t rev it up or run it very long. but this happening doesn’t make you feel good and you want to go and race it. One time I changed oil & filter [NAPA gold] on a nice engine and drove to the races 10...

How long did it run and how many RPM did it see? when you primed it twice in recent months did it have oil pressure? Was this a new engine and first ever start up? or has it run before?

Summer? June 18th is in the spring, but OK whatever. Creative journalism?

Exhaust Header Heat Wraps - Do Not Use it was the thing to do in stock & Super Stock. They will try anything. Until the headers were falling apart. Especially in humid climates. Now you just don’t see wrapped headers adapt the drags in this area anyway.
