Keep us posted on what you find.

Ingo-
Thank you for your comments!
The plugs in the case and crank were removed and replaced. My builder suggested if any came out, there would be ZERO pressure at all rpms.
I'd have to defer to the builder to see if he checked bearing clearances. I don't know. I'm very comfortable that he follows standard practices.
I also wondered if the there was maybe a problem at the cam oil lines / reducers - I don't know how those work - in the later engines. Maybe they are letting too much oil through (like the old, early style cam oil lines)?
Will keep you posted.
thanks for your interest and assistance,
Doug
