**UPDATED!!

Judging by one of the main bearings, do you think my main journals are okay? I forgot to take a picture of the journal but this is one closest to the flywheel. Only this journal is questionable to me... the rest look perfect. Also it doesnt look like I spun the bearing... its hard to explain but it just looks like some of the meterial from the bearing stuck onto the journal or something. I'll try to get pics of the journal.



**Finally took pics of the main journals and such. Here is what the journal looks like for bearing above. I scraped off most of the darker metal stuff with my finger nail, brake cleaner and a rag, but some of it is pretty stuck on there. Also is the copper color normal?



Does it look okay? Like it wouldnt effect the oil clearance? Also here are pics of the rest of the journals along with the main caps.

Anyone?

 

Any performance engine should have the mains aligned hone to be perfect straight and 90 degree to the cylinders too. Regural mass production is good for a street car but.....

 

I've never seen that. Kind of weird. Does the tang on each bearing look perfect/un-crushed?

Don't drink the bong water.

LOL.
The tangs look perfect. Actually now that I look at it.. alot of the bearings look kinda copperish on the back side. Is that normal? I really need to take pictures of the mains.

 

Lets see the wear surfaces and the back shells... all of them. Just line them up tops and bottoms.

 

we need to see the bearing surface where the crank journal actually sits in.....the backside looks shitty but probably wont cause a problem.

 

I'll try to get new pics up tomorrow.

 

NEW PICS.

 

That bearing is ready to spin. Something went wrong. Is this a factory motor or did you build it?

 

you shouldnt be seeing any copper material on your bearings...

It is indeed the factory motor and I never touched anything inside, besides doing a valve adjustment a couple times.

Should I get an align bore? I plan on doing a complete rebuild so do I have to worry about my new bearings spinning?

 

Anyone else have any input?

 

the bores look ok.

for more input we need pics of the bearings..
