The bearings were Clevite Performance, either P or H. My invoice doesn't say which, I can't remember. Both the machinist and Tom are very confident in the diagnosis.

I see damage to the block in one of Tom's photos (attached and circled in red).

Curious what you all think of the block damage and the blocks future prospects.

The spark plug thing is a mystery.

There wasn't a drop of oil leaking. 6.5+ quarts in the engine.
