so 99% sure my bottom end bearings went on my 25

ive got the motor out now when i take the oil pan off

what should i be looking for?

any info would help cheers.

is there anyone that can help? or should this be moved to where

it would get more attention?

so i have taken the sump off and havnt noticed anything.

motor still cranks over and there are no flakes of metal anywhere

to be found. i have another motor to put in so should just sell this as is or

pull it apart and find this mystery problem?

ok here are some picks does this help?

also was looking at my valves on the exh side

when i took the manifold off i could see up there.

there was white carbon dust on them but

my other motor only has black carbon?

any feedback would help.

You'll need to pull the big end/main caps off to see what the condition of the bearings is. If you do that and post up photos of the bearings then lots of people on here would have experience in engine rebuilds and will tell you whats been happening

As already said but, major damage will be pretty obvious.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
