Matt has the engine in the dragster apart,the crank needs to be ground, bearings need replacement.
A conservative estimate is there are 200 runs on these parts.
Plan is to now check every 50 runs.
There were never any shavings in the oil filter. It appears they were just hammered until they started to squeeze out the side and rub against the crank journal. The crank does need to be ground.
I could not get the shot I wanted of the cam. The one lobe has the start of a dish at the top. We will replace the cam with the same grind but with a more blower friendly lobe separation.
I still think they look nice. I believe the engine is developing about 850 HP, we will put it on the dyno when rebuilt
Full update with pictures on my web site.
