                well looks like #6 spun and on its way out due to #6 was #5. crank is beat to hell and unsure on rod at the moment. #6 piston hit the head but very slightly, both should be fine. #6 bearing was spun almost all the way around. #5 was about a 1/4 in around. the way that the bearing was wore shows that it wasnt installed properly or the arps had distorted the rod causing uneven wear. will try and get the parts to the builder and see what he says

                  • Not good mike!! I would see what paul has to say about it. hopefully it wasn't builder error. Might think ya reconsider one of my previous posts.

                    • happen to have a pic farther away? i want to see more rods still in the engine

                      • i dont at the moment but my short block is in the garage. i can take a couple more tomorrow morning.. im hoping paul takes responsibility for this, if not ill pay to have my parts machined elsewhere and assemble myself.

                        i only pulled the two and will be letting the builder disassemble the rest

                              • Now you have me worried about my motor. If a builder can do this, no telling what I can do...yikes.
