It took us a couple of weeks, after hours, to clean all the metal out of the oilways and re- build it
The crankshaft needed a re-grind as well..
When we finished it and drove it back to his place, checked the oil, it was full of metal, again.
Towed his car back to the workshop, stripped it, when they had done the re- grind the was a faint feather edge to the oil holes, this was enough to tear the linings on the mains and big ends,
A bit of smoothing, another set of bearings, and a week cleaning the oilways and he was right for the next 4 years before he traded the car for a newer one.
