crank is on standard grind. and was measured and polished!
if the bearings were wrong it would rattle i think
and the engine is Very smooth and Very quiet! which is a good sign.


oil pick up pipe was de-greased and cleaned thru


I can only hope that pump is ok,, and that a load of sealer has
broken away ( like spadges the other day)

and i DID use the proper ford sealant for it! AND it was left about a
week to go off before the car was used at all!

but even so,, it could be something like that i guess.
