MC1 - while I'm at it..

Look at con rod bearings.
We had two sets go after installing the engines which were fine before.
I guess they were fine with stock or no boost, once we started cranking it
up the con rod bearings decided to make noise.
Both cases they were showing a bit of copper on #3 and #5 conrods.

Now the procedure is to change them anyway as they are not expensive and
better be safe than sorry.

Hope this helps.
