No oiling mods have been done with this motor. Perhaps when I rebuild, I should limit oil to top end (???)

I bought the block from a private party already cleaned and bored, then I bought pistons to match the .040 overbore. It had new plugs in all the galley's already, so I didn't re-check the passages. looking back, I probably should have had the machinist re-clean it. I had my machinist hone it, deck it, and align hone the mains, along with doing the crank.

Visually, the cam looks okay from what I can see through the bottom. But, I haven't torn the top end apart yet.

EDIT:
The other bearings fit into the #2 saddle correctly. Its the bearing, not the saddle. I assembled the motor, and although I'm not a seasoned engine builder, I paid diligent attention to the details, and I'm positive all bearings fit well and consistent at assembly.
