thats no good about the engine! from past experiance no3 or 4 spinning and the rest of the bearings ok tells me oil debis. as they are the first to get oil. and the first to get any contaminants aswell. where as if its no 1 or 6 then id look at oil starvation as a posible cause as they are the last to get oil.

unless a grub screw fell out or something..

interesting. All the other bearings do look ok. Piston on number four lightly tapped the head. Crank has a nice wobble now. I taked to James(Nisspeed) as he helped me build it. He seemed to think most likely detonation... but the oil pick was full of crap...can't tell if it was from my failed bearing or prior...

Things I am considering:

I was revving her to 9100rpm

I did hit the limiter quite a few times

Not likely oil starvation

Detonation was not high but hard to tell between real kncoks on my PFC and rpm limiter setting the knock sensors off.

Rods look like Howards? Very close to Argo.

Sorry to hear :(

Yep, Howards =)

I'll get it sorted. Had to come out to sort a couple of other issue's I wasn't happy with anyway. And how much is an Rb30 crank....$50. Just need to find some more NDC bearings...may favourite

Matt

if that was the only one rooted. its picked up some shit and scuffed the bearing. NOT DETONATION. i seen the exact same thing on my gf engine after a dodgy oil cooler install. no3 bigend and main destroyed. the rest were perfect... it happens. the problem is at those revs you cant hear it start to go till its ruined.

was the crank grubscrewed?

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
