Looks like the bearings get worse toward the rear of the engine. Did you ever throw a lifter from the lifter bores? This would cause a loss of oil pressure and would cause the bearings at the rear to sustain more damage than the front as they are oiled from the front to the rear. Also by the looks of the front bearing the line bore is out and needs corrected before building it again.


I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!
