K1 crank.

i'll do up some corresponding pix of the cam lobes later.
i don't think the cranks have anything to do with 2.4 failures.
imho, its the hg not doing its job.
bolo for a 2.4 hc short block soon

good choice. i may consider doing this over the winter before the convention.

What bearings were you running btw? it seems with the content of the metal in the oil you were running oem bearings.

For builds like this i wouldnt suggest anything other than the ACL race bearings. Harder material that can withstand the higher loads and i dont believe they have the copper content like the oem bearings. Thats why I ask.

Im talking more about the bearing metal content in the oil. Whether its a crank journal problem that was causing bearing wear or the oem bearings not being able to handle the load just saying yes bearing upgrades are a good idea.

His oil properties are still there so i doubt the slight mixture of coolant in the oil had anything to do with the bearing wear as its still a small amount % wise.

i submitted a sample from the forte sx at the same time. it was also above (slightly) the expected range due to being a newer engine 8800 miles. they suggested a 6000 mile change next time.

ill be running oem bearings (crank rod and thrust). you should consider them if your build isnt to over the top.
