Pulled the motor and found some suprises....
I think I know what my oil pressure problem was from
Also, get this sh!t, The Eagle rods that are/ were in my motor were the WRONG rods. They had the right part numbers, but a totally different big end. The big end is made like a SBC and a LS1 rod is centered. I bought a new set for this rebuild, thats how I found out. Thats why I thought I had the rods in wrong, I had the wrong f&*(ing rods in the first place!

Futral is an awesome guy. Weve talked a few times about parts and hes tried to help me with my low oil pressure problem. I wouldnt hesitate to buy a motor from him if I had the money!
