Something I'd like to point out!. In the 25+ yrs I been building motors for myself and others, I've only lost one (other than breaking parts racing). And that's only because I did the "if it turns over it's good" deal and it was in my daily driver, it lasted less than a 100 miles. That was a lesson learned. For one thing, machine shops are a dime a dozen and it's all production shit, if you want quality, YOU PAY and then you still don't trust it a 100%, you check evrything(assuming don't cut it) to make sure and you don't RUSH. Also if you don't have the tools for measuring(good ones are expensive), you do what it takes to get them, beg, borrow, steal, whatever but you need to use them to build a good motor. Another thing I learned the hard way is when you get the block done, you never let them put the cam bearings in, because unless you PAY EXTRA for them to clean it, it ain't clean!. Good machine shops will tell you that!. I could go on and on about this but Doug would probably kick my ass off the board for taking up all the space. It's a real bitch to put your hard earned money into your favorite toy, only to have it turn to shit when a little time could have prevented it, not to mention double the cost!. Been down that road before, ain't no fun!...

Looks like rod bearings from the pic, and that looks like oil starvation. Did you put the rods in the right way?, also did you check the side crearance?, if you don't have enough clearance you won't pass the oil fast enough and you end up cooking the oil. Measure things up as you take it apart so you can correct it, otherwise you may not find the problem and end up doing it all over again!. Now you're talkin brain strain!..
