i got my old engine torn down and was quite surprised at what i found , engine only has about 3k miles on it , everything looked good except for the main bearings
center 3 lower halves
center 3 top halves
bottom half front and rear main ( flash washed out the copper showing threw but it was dead center on both)
im curious as to what u guys think is the cause
#1 to much power and its trying to run over the crankshaft
#2 not enough clearance
#3 oil starvation
#4 other ?
the rod bearings were pefect , no other signs of distress in the engine except for those 3 lower mains ( even the crank doesnt have a mark on it )
