OK, three busted blocks---why did they bust? ...over how many years???... As far as running 3in1 oil in it I honestly don't see how the engine has survived at all. That oil is so light weight I can't understand how it supports the loads imparted to it by the main and rod bearings. As far as I know 3in1 is a general purpose oil with no EP additives in it at all. Run some LE and it'll last 10 times as long as it already has...LOL..... As far as the crank outlasting the blocks again what broke the blocks and how many times has the crank been turned? Was the crank turned at each new block?? If so it didn't outlast the block, it was given a new life each time. The crank I mentioned was a new one that had 12 years of hard running and didn't need to be turned. Again something dad said he hadn't seen in all his years in the business, and (something I didn't say before) something the guys at the machine shop were just as amazed about. If ya'lls didn't need to be turned when the blocks got broke then ya'll got dang lucky is all I can say. As for this scenario, as a whole, all I can say is there are some things that simply can't be explained. I don't claim to know everything about everything, or about any one thing in particular for that matter, all I'm trying to do is give some friendly advise and trying to help these guys on here out if I can.
