Cross drill the next stock steel Mopar crank, or use an Eagle with priority oiling...........Boost? there was BOOST???......See above..........MP

George @ Clay Smith made the cam for him.
I think it's Karma because K-flat likes to pick on The K Boat King. The King prolly had a vodoo mopar engine and was sticking pins and needles in it when K flat was at the lake that day.
That's funny....
Sorry to see those ugly pictures.

15 initial 30 total boost suppose to be 8lbs, 51 bottom 54 top pulley, compression is 8.2:1. I was cruising up river at about 3500 when I hit recall on the tach later.
Given this is a blower deal would siezing be less noticable? Blowers make boost under load.
Is the damage on both sides of the piston? Seems like if the problem is rod clearance then the damage would be more on one side of the piston. Not speaking as and expert just trying to learn something.
Both sides.
After reading all of this I say it is not the rod bearing clearance its the flippin Scat Crank. Similar thing happend to toddnjuzz with his Scat crank engine. I have also had this happen with a Scat crank SBC years ago. If you just were to replace the crank and bad rods most likely it will happen again if you use Scat. If you replace the crank with a good Eagle unit and replace the bad rods, I would bet you will be fine !!! It seems the Scat stuff swells with heat. I don't know shit just my $ .02 :chi: Soo you would Knock a scat and promote an Eagle?? Are you kidding me??? Sounds like some clearances were measured with PLASTIGAUGE!! Hee Haww Fur Da little green clearance measuring device!! :wink: :boxed:
