called em earlier and they said it would be open.

 

Whoot whoot!

 

So yeah... we think its the balance shaft bearings that is contaminating the oil supply and directly affecting the rod/main bearing health by shooting pieces to them. Motor has to come out to remove the balance shafts which I'm sure the bearings for them are toast. its irritating that this dumb failure almost made my bottom end fail. We were wondering where all this trash was coming from, lol. Anyways, balance shafts spin 2x faster than the crank... so 8500rpm x2 = 17000 rpm for the bal shafts... math is scary. Enevitable. Time to build.

 

Nice and sunny now
