Well Im in Virginia for work, But I got a friend back home to tear my motor down for me and it was a rod bearing. So I guess I'll break it in a little easier this time around? Im hoping to be in wellsville with it Labor day weekend, But figured id let you guys know you were right about it.

All I run is a full flow system on my buggy and Ive never had a oiling problem. The only thing I do is run a windage tray to help hold the oil around the sump.

Thats right chris the 30mm pump sucks the sump dry dry under high rpm and foams the oil really bad. The 26 or 28 solves that whole problem.
