so like, the rod hit the sleeve? is the clearance that tight there? it only spun #1 rod bearing and left the bearings paper thin… :redface: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/gearhead313/jeepoops001.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/gearhead313/jeepoops001.jpg) ---

your rod bolts are probably stretched seeing that the bearing was burnt out giving the rod more travel to trash your cylinder. ---

I’m not terribly worried about it. I did rev the piss out of it on a bum tune, so i get what I deserve. I spec’d the whole motor and had the bearing clearances w/in .0003" of eachother. I just didn’t know that the thinkness of the bearing was greater than the distance b/w the rod and the bottom of the cylinder!! \*\>st165 ---
