And the offset is different from what I recently found.
And on the rod bearings, that was just an observation.... your explanations are probably spot on. If the crank is not scored a lot or deeply, then A-OK.
Yup all the rod journals looked great, I think one had a very small scratch going all the way around but I couldn't even catch a fingernail on it, pretty sure I found a piece of debris embedded in the bearing on that journal... speaking of debris I need to get a narrow attachment for my shop vac so I can get ALL the little particles of whatever random crap out of the valley and lifter bores.
I'm also thinking about going to my local Grainger industrial supply and placing an order for some Baldwin oil filters. The parts store ones seem to change around so much I feel like a guinea pig for the filter companies and the Baldwins are still only like $6-8 a piece. Check 'em out guys, our engines use filter model B34, also same for my Jeep 4.0L... if they're good enough for commercial and industrial engines I'm sure they're good for our old Mopars.
