Alright so rebuild number 2 has died after running beautifully for almost 3000 miles now.
The car still has good oil pressure, but it has spun a rod. I'm at a loss, so now I'm turning to you guys for thoughts on why it keeps happening.
For starters crank was uncut just polished, all connecting rods looked good, and oil pressure has been impeccable. Plastigauged everything as it went together, and everything was right in the middle of spec. I used ACL bearings the aluminum silicone ones, could these bearings be the cause of my nightmare? Tuesday I am pulling the motor and inspecting the damage, I can't imagine it to be more than another crank and set of bearings. I just don't want to have to do this a fourth time.
