well it ran like that for a day and a half, i started hearing a really loud lifter tick, so i knew something was wrong.

if anything i prob burned the **** out of my rod bearings. but its been good for a couple of days now running strong no prob. hopefully im in the clear.

 

keep your fingers crossed! ESPECIALLY with the fear of crankwalk being bumped up a few knotches there ... :-/

 

im amazed it even picked up 1 Qt of oil, it had to be sucking air. it takes over 1/2 a Qt. just to fill the filter and cooler, plus whatever is up in the head.

 

might wanna buy TheEngineer's 6 bolt now... lol i see probable problems coming from this...
