Ok, I had my motor built by a pro shop in 2006. 1200 miles later I spun ALL FOUR bearings and scored the crank due to improper installation of BS Elimination kit. I had very low oil pressure at that time.
Then, this year in May I had the bearings replaced with ACL Race Rod/Main Bearings and had the crank turned and polished. Now, "only" 200 miles later (I drive the car under great suspicsion since spinning prev. bearings)...my car is sounding a little more throaty in the engine area than usual around 3K rpm and climbing. Also, I noticed a greyish string of sh*t on my oil dipstick that was mixed with the "very clean" GTX 10w-30 oil (which is almost clear). Oil pressure is very good still. What can I expect??? Bad repair build??
The crank has been balanced. I got new cylinder walls and pistons. Head ported/polished too. I don't understand.
