I pulled the engine today, here are a few shots for humor.
In this pic, you can see that main caps #5 and #6 broke and are completely gone, main cap #7 is about 2/3 gone (one ARP stud still hanging in there). Main cap #4 is broke in 2 pieces but is still in there, main cap #3 is cracked and still hanging in as well.

Looks like you just need a new/better oil filter
Yup...I'm going with new oil filter and the whole thing should be good to go.

Looks like you are still using factory type motor mounts, time for solid plates front and at bell hsg. you might/probably are twisting and distorting the block. Caps can't stay in the registers.:icon_scratch:

Caps can't stay in the registers.:icon_scratch:Hey Warren! All of the high hp guys still use stock motor mounts, pretty much the concensus is that the stock main caps are maxed out around 1100 hp. Soo.... check this out. We took Matts engine apart and see what we find inside:
So how does that work? My caps break and fly out of the block breaking everything else in sight. But Matts break and say "no problem, we'll just stay put and keep the engine together.
