I pulled the rod caps today and 1,2,5 and 6 rod bearings were scarred bad. It looked like some of the brass from the distributor gear had embedded into the bearing. Between the bearing and the crank. The crank does not look to bad scarred or scratched. I am going to carry my block and crank to a machine shop I know and see what he thinks. I will let ya know what he thinks in a few days. Steven

your block prob needs an align hone,and bore.

that shows the center is fine but the outer two main caps are wobbling. means either the block is bent a little or the crank isnt straight.

Flywheel/flexplate balance might be out of whack too.
