¿ would the piston jumping around in cylinder cause the rod bearings to get chewed up?
(see pics, this only after a couple hours of running and all bearings were brand new) could it have been the oil pump?, I just purchased a Melling 10296 this time.
another question that I have done research one but find conflicting answers is do I need to prime this motor first? I didn't prime first time but oil pressure jumped to 60psi on first start after a few seconds of running..
