So I spun a rod bearing late racing season. Obviously it filled the oil system full of crap. I scrambled to clean and reassemble the engine to finish the season.
Since I had to tear down and put a better rod in (I didn't balance the replacement well as the services were not available in the timeframe we needed) I had to reopen the case to do it right this winter.
While I thought I had cleaned everything well, it looks like I did not... Can you pros look at this crank bearing and confirm (or deny) that this splotch near the oil journal is from dirt/debris? The first and last bearing showed the most significant issues with less showing the father into the engine you get.
THanks. Sorry for the bad picture but I think you can get the idea of what's there...
