Looking at the bearing, it is an H bearing, I recomend the P bearing, is what I have use all this time and I prep them with a piece of green dish washer pad, with warm dish washer soap water and then clean it up with cold water in 2 little cans. This will smooth the bearing and clean out any burrs in the bearing and the edges of the bearing. This will give a bit of clearance and the bearing fits perfect, I do it on the mains and the rods. If you are going to change the mains, I recomend King Bearings an excellent bearing. Edgar |

Re: Brass found in my oil filter. (pics)
yea, it might help and it may not, my dad and I had the bearings coated in our super stocker, but the bearings still didnt come out any better, but of course what is was, was the fuel we were using. 14 to 1 compression we were using 114 gas, but it needed 120 octane. Make sure you stay consistent with your gas, and use the octane that you need..good luck buddy
also, when you cross the finish line, shut the motor off, I wouldnt let the motor slow the car down. |

Re: Brass found in my oil filter. (pics)
Yeah, I don't engine brake for long. I know that is not a good thing to do. The calico coatings are primarily for lowering the parasitic drag. As long as the engine is open, we are going to do this. I figured it might help a little with bearing life as well. I don't know. I guess I will find out the next time I open it up.

Re: Brass found in my oil filter. (pics)
It has something to do with engine oiling, IIRC. Seems like it can also contribute to spinning a bearing? Someone help me out here...

Re: Brass found in my oil filter. (pics)
Well the Canton pan I have holds 7 quarts of oil and I also have a built in baffle and windage tray so the oil isn't going anywhere and this won't be a problem for my setup.
What I have been told on the engine braking that COULD affect me is when you let off the gas at the top end and don't clutch the car, that load is transfered to the crank which puts extra load on the thrust bearings causing them to prematurely fail. I do engine brake until I know the car is under control and then I throw in the clutch. I will continue to do this as my car is a bit unstable (due to the suspension being very loose) at the top end. I don't think my bearing problem resulted from my engine braking though.

Re: Brass found in my oil filter. (pics)
Shutting motor off after a pass...I would not think it's a good idea. Explain the reasoning please.
Also, if there's plentiful oil-pressure, the crank is floating, no matter if it's under power, or slowing down with the car...At lease ideally it is. The key is plenty of oil-pressure and flow into the bearings...for all of the issues discussed above.
