Hi guys, I just got done with the engine teardown.. I put the car away after making it to the 3rd round of the fall mason dixon race. Turn out i have a spun rod bearing as i suspected.. and also i found out why i was getting water in the oil.. There were 2 cracks in the bottom of #6 cylinder and 1 crack in #5 cylinder.. So i need to get a new block and another molnar rod. Greg |

Gary Bruner was able to order a single rod from K1 this week if you cant find a molinar |

any ideas on why the bores cracked,, did you just get 5 and 6 cylinders too thin on the over bore? |

Did you fill your block when you did the overbore? If so how deep? |

No I did not.. i think i will put more time into this block.. probably a partial hard block fill as well. I have some research to do. I am not sure why it cracked... but this block lased quite a while. 5+ years without too many issues until this. Lots of passes too. Greg |

Do you remember what clearances you were running? |

Stock.. prolly 0.001-0.0015 Machine shop and I agreed to double that rod clearance to 0.003 on the rod journals. Mains were fine. A bit of thrust bearing wear from stalling the conv. so much.. i believe this one does not have the anti balloon plate. Greg |

Yep that should be good. Wonder why it spun?  Which rod was it? Probably one of the center 4 I'd guess.I'm sure Ruster will debut next year better than ever!

I thought that Pittsburgh track racers had to sign a form that they were required to oil down a track at least once each year?  You are way behind, Greg.Lou |
