Rawze's Daily blog...
Ok, so i have taken the weekend off while waiting for counterbore shims. I am counter-boring my block myself because I found the exhaust side of cylinder number 6 to be 0.002" low. It is no big deal,.. but it is just enough that I do not think it will last another million without some help. I will also be raising the height of all the liners to 0.014" from the factory 0.010" that it was. This should make it stout, and/or allow me to put some serious horsepower in it if I choose in the future if I ever want to.

Who said a gallon of gear lube in your engine is bad?-.. I think this is clear proof! --- all these parts still look new!. I have always used regular Rotella-T oil with one gallon of Sta-lube 80/90 gear at every oil change.

Here are my rod bearings after 955,000 miles...

And the cams after 955,000 miles... Hard to see in picture, but there is actually ZERO WEAR THAT CAN BE MEASURED with a set of calipers. Only just beginning to polish on some lobe surfaces.

Rollers and some crossheads...

Here is the worst of all the wear I could find... If someone asked me to look at this,.. I would swear it was only about 400k miles on that bearing.

-- the IRONY in all this,..--- Is that These parts HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED YET! -- AT ALL!... But simply removed form the engine and placed onto the table. there are no deposits anywhere,.. and there was only a tiny piece of dried loc-tite in the bottom of the oil pan. There was not even any glitter in it. It was absolutely clean. -- Even the magnets are clean!.
