well now i have another issue. Got about 35 passes on this engine. It lost 4 mph but i didn't think anything about it since i was changing the combo anyway. So i just took it apart and was looking for a way to help return the top end oil quicker and i see the front 3 cam bearings have all turned. The block came from indy with the bearings installed. I didn't measure it yet so i don't know if the registers are the correct size or not so don't know what my fix is going to be. i guess some green loctite and drill some holes for pins.

Another thing i see is the sleeves are now down lower than the deck by a few thousands.

So my question is...is anybody else having these same issues and what have you done to fix them.

thanks, bob
