Rod bearings 1,2 & 4 look good, but #3 not so good. This engine has approximately ten race weekends sense it was rebuilt. Has anyone seen this issue?

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Aug 9 2018, 04:43 AM)  Aftermarket rods do not have an oil slinger slot that the factory 2.0L ones do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What oil slinger slot? here is a doc that details how to cut/file one into the factory rods? Attached image(s)
