Bearing Damage
Eric, any ideas on why you're having main bearing issues? Nitro engines are somthing I no nothing about but geez that's a lot of oil pressure. I would think that's more than sufficient. Could it be running out of oil at the end of the 1/4 mile?

Plenty of pressure entering the block but we're not getting enough volume to the #2 bearing. Nitro takes a TON of oil because the combustion event lasts so much longer than in a gas engine.
#1 is ok because we're putting oil in at the IA2 "turbo oiling hole" (thanks Travis & Rodney for that idea). We're looking at restricting flow to cam bearings and adding an extra feed directly into #2. Eric
