Bearing Diagnosis

[mecevans]

Just curious what you all think about my old bearing from my rebuild. 90-92' GE block unknown miles no knock. I have used pennzoil 5w-30 synthetic and the huge Wix filters since ive owned it. i autocrossed it a couple times and driven through the twisties for extended high RPM's and load.lots of engine braking. :evil2: Main bearing were in between .0015 and .0020in, cant find my specs for rods.

Looks to be dirty oil abraision.
Maybe the Wix isn't doing it's job.

Wix do there job and some of the best filters out there.

Did you clean them off with brake clean or anything?

Ive seen worse as these dont seem to be really worn or anything.

Looks is very hard to tell, something can look terrible but can't be felt (meaning it's really nothing)

Dirty assembly...

LOTS of crap hiding in the Crank has made an appearence in the Rod bearings.
(circular scuff on some shells in line with the Oil holes)

IJ was right! Tons of crap in the crank!
