What would cause this weird bearing wear?

Plastigauge and assembly lube a must on all the bearings is how I was taught a long time ago. Oil can leak out before initial startup your when likely to wipe out the bearing overlays. Assembly lube will stay longer.

That would make sense, I can see engine oil not staying very long.

I can't remember the name of the lube I use but it's a dark red color and I have never had a issue with it.

Now you got me worried about my eddy heads though :(

Its not just cam lube is it? and if your heads are working good now I'm sure you are fine, only reason I took this motor apart was because I had a lame hole.

Going back the the crank install. when you bolted down all the cap's and then turned the crank to install the rods did you need a bar to turn the crank (to tight.no oil clearance) or just use a screw driver or maybe just by hand with a little restriction.

The crank turned really nicely, I could easily spin it by hand, and if I spun it quickly It would continue spinning for another half revolution or so.
