    Welcome to CHR. With three lobes totally rounded how did you go about cleaning out all of the abrasive grit in the engine? What do you mean the rod bearings "felt good"?

    Pull the motor and tear it down.

    You tried to get by on the cheap, it didn't fly.

    Jerry, it seems to me that you're missing an excellent opportunity to share your knowledge of the building & rebuilding process for engines here, and helping a guy understand where he may be going wrong.

    Did you check the mains? and felt good? did you remove rod caps or just wiggle them?
