okay so about a week ago i realized i had bad compression on my rebuild so today i started taking the engine apart for rings and a hone. then i came across my rod bearings.
what would cause them to do this?? i had good oil pressure and all the bearing clearances were in spec. I mean ALL. i was runnig 10w-30 oil from engine break in till tare down. I'm lost:sosad:.. but my crank and main bearings were undamaged. Need help!
oil pressure was 13 psi at idle and about 60 at 4k rpm. about 90 at 7k
edit:5w-30

to clean the head, spray with purple soap (Super clean/purple power) scrub any heavy crud areas, rinse with clear water,blow dry with compressed air, spray with WD40 the valve stems in the runners springs/cams followers

should i do this with the head all taken apart? because i gave my spare 2g head to the machine shop for a 3 angle valve job and deck, should i tell the guy to return it to me disassembled so i can clean it or should i just clean it after the guy returns it to me assembled?
