So here I am year and haft later with crack cy wall again and wrist pin bushings push out of the rods !
Some of you might remember the wrist pin bushing from before. I blame it on junk metal use in the 440 source rods . I will take that back now. last time we put it back together we use new wrist pins and new eagle rods.It has push the bushings out of the rods again. and we put a new sleeve in it. last time it crack across the back side this time long ways to the outside .this is the second sleeve both crack. I think the block should of never been used. might of bored in to thew water jacket ? I don't know was not there...But this wrist pin deal burn my a$$.. all I can think is he got them to tight ??

Did this happen on the Same cylinder/piston? I remember the last time you pushed a bushing out on a pin. I dont remember if it was just on one cylinder or not.

I think youve ruled out a rod/pin problem, if so.

Thats strange that they are all pushing out. It would seem that they may be all on the tight side. But , I wouldnt figure that they would all want to push out.

Are they pushing out all the Same direction?? as in All towards the back of the engine or the front.

Or just all random directions both front and back??

If its direction one way , that may indicate that the crank is not parallel, perpendiculularly with the cylinders maybe. Just thinking out loud here,

did u pin fit the rods ? all brand new rods need pin fitted to the piston pins u are useing , even my 1600..00 olivers needed done i put 9 tenths to a little over 1 thou depending on application ,no2 and blown/ turbo need more because they will gauld the pin to the bushing easy !!

The cylinders could have been bored crooked. Check to see if the deck is parallel to the crank and then the bores perpindicular to the deck. Also, on the 440 Source rods I had to have my machinist hone the small end to get the proper fit.

Jamie these are full floater correct... where are the
locks at... did they push out
EDIT
it can really be only 1 thing(my opinion) that the press
fit of the bushing into the rod isnt tight enough and
for some reason the pin to the bushing has more friction
then the bushing to rod... the pin must have been too
tight on the fit

Now you can't say a bad word about 440source ever again

I'm betting the block was machined wrong but it is hard to say. Did the pins get oil on assembly?

Could you post some good clear pictures of the front and back of the rod bearings as well as the big end bore (rod half, not cap half) of 2 or 3 connecting rods please.

The bushing need to be a interference fit to the rod either by heating and expanding the rod or freezing the bushing or both.Then fitting the bushing for the pin.To only press fit the bushing in the rod can cause the the bushing to come out.

Yes I put the motor together and yes they had lots oil on them. motor has 250-300 runs on it. maybe more.
I got some other 440 source parts I can complain about..But I can't blame the rods now.

These was new eagle rods. the bushings was already in them, But I did have the same shop put new bushings in the 440 S rods. Have not use them yet will have to have them checked out now

Another thing you can look at is do the rod bearing showing wear at the crank side.If they were riding on the crank radius it can angle load the pin causing the bushing to galled.

Why no spiral locks? I would say thats your problem with the pins coming out.

These pistons do not use spiral locks. pins are not coming out, not all piston use spiral lock

I don't know if that's bad after 250-300 runs. That's alot of laps.

That said, I'm no engine building professional, but I DID stay at a Holiday Inn last week. LOL

On the rod bushing issue, I'm thinking too what the P man said:

it can really be only 1 thing(my opinion) that the press
fit of the bushing into the rod isnt tight enough and
for some reason the pin to the bushing has more friction
then the bushing to rod... the pin must have been too

Not to say anything bad or otherwise about the old one but you won't be sorry with the one I think you are talking about.

440Source told me right up front the pins bushings needed to be honed to fit.

Time to pay your dues to the guy upstairs to stop the hating, that may change your "luck" Just kidding Vern, I sincerely hope it gets better for you and yours I've seen black spots on the back of the rod bearings and in the rod where the bearing sits caused by detonation Mainly lack of fuel delivery the last three hundred in the 1/4 mile

From the pics of the crank side of the rod bearings, you can see hammering indications/stripes.

Thats a sign of detonation witch will actually Hammer worse at the pins. Your bushed pins seem to be showing that,IMO.

Can you show pics of some of the piston tops of the worst involved cylinders.

I absolutely agree with Todd on this. I used new Ohio Crankshaft rods on my build a few years ago and took the rods and pistons to my machine shop to have them fitted. They fitted them with approx. .0003" (if I remember correctly) like they do all of their engines (mostly BB Chev). After talking to Todd, I took them back to the shop and ask them to hone them some more, to approx .0008". They didn't want to hone them that much. We settled on approx .0006". No problems so far. They felt like the bushing were being honed to "worn out". My position to the machinist was MY rods, MY bushing, MY engine, MY responsibility. This is not a Chevy. If they are worn out in a season, I'll pay you to put new bushings in then.
The problem that you (Jamie) are having is exactly what Todd warned me would happen if they were too tight. Thanks again Todd!
Getting ready to start the 3rd season on this engine. It has been freshened up (bearings, rings, valve springs, ect), rod bushings still good.

I think that was an ignition box issue causing the popping this summer - wasn't it?

If I had to guess I would bet that popping and banging didnt help.

What shop are you going with this time? Mann is putting all my stuff together this time around. I can't wait to get this thing back in the car.

So the new machinist called said my crank is also cracked in many places. I said I told you it would be. He can't believe it .. so 1 1/2 years later same problems crack sleeve- crack crank and wrist pin bushing bad, the very same things wrong as before.I am starting to think it is all because of the crack sleeve. Water getting in to that cy and detonating .
He wonder about the balance job ? I am not sure what to think ?

Were you still running that ballast resistor with the MSD....when you were having the popin'/fuel problem...?


If you like drag racing, support your local track.
