That=E2=80=99s true, it=E2=80=99s the center main bearing getting tired. =
I had the pan off mid season and all the rod bearings were perfect but =
the center main was showing wear, as usual.

Based upon past experience and the feedback It will be time for pistons =

Oil pressure variations are unlikely to have anything to do with pistons =

That does not sound out of the bounds of reality to me.  It=E2=80=99s =
about what we get with Jeff=E2=80=99s TR3.

How many hours of runtime is that for you?

Total hours is the only real way to know.

Greetings FoT,

I just finished perfect season sans one session where I snapped off my =
gas pedal but better that than the brake.

After two great seasons on the motor I started seeing some fluxuations =
in my oil pressure so I=E2=80=99m going to go ahead and rebuild it.

I=E2=80=99ll do a compression test today after a quick spin around the =
neighborhood.

Anyway, I just wanted to see what folks typically get for piston & liner =
life. I=E2=80=99m really only seeing a couple seasons.

Thanks for the input,

Jim g
