Good thought since the similarity to LS engines is so great.
My question is: Assuming that were true, then why would the middle rods have the issue?
Wouldn't a cavitation issue show up either in the main bearings, or the rods furthest from the oil pump first?
Not trying to start anything, but it's been explained/described to me the windowed examples usually have mains still in good condition, and the remaining rods are still good as well, but the center rods wanted to get out of the block. At least that's where the mystery originated on my end.

Think of the LA engine like I previous stated but I would like to know "At what RPM"
I don't know if I am right but it make sense

Thanks Ray.  So does anyone see what I'm seeing? I brought this up with Kevin Helms once I looked at his header design on Teuton's windowed 6.1 block at the Nat's.
No, but I'm hoping you'll tell us what it is you see.

The response I got was to main bearing issues rather than the rods being tossed.

i need help. Again!
so the oil filter wont screw off so i guess i need to run a relocation kit, or jack up the motor every time i change the oil
so the question is, what is the thread size on the hemi engines? does anyone recommend a good value on a oil filter reloction kit?

Do you have the filter adapter that points the filter to the front,,or no adapter that puts the filter straight down?? The thread on the block, without the adapter, is 18mmx1.5.
If you like drag racing, support your local track.

The core engine I am working with, came out of an '06 truck...it had an adapter that pointed the filter toward the front. I also feel that the filter area may be of some concern contributing to the afore mentioned bearing problems...LOTS of small passages and restrictive angles involved in the castings. I am eliminating these with an external oil pump system that will feed into the hole right above the filter..with some minor mods to the original feed hole in the block, and a remote filter set-up.

i have an 06 truck 5.7 out in the shop that doesnt have that adapter. also, i screwed one of my big block oil filters on the 5.7 so i dont think its an 18mm thread but maybe i'm wrong
