Also another thing im going to do when i put it back together is get the HX series ACL's they are a bit harder and have .001" extra oil clearance. This is what the big honda boys use on their motors. Figured id give the looser bearing clearances a shot.

I just figured it would help with oil pump gear problems. I've seen a few shatter when really heavy weights are used at really high rpm. The bypass gets flooded and backed up, pressure spikes, then boom.
