Hey FlatJack . . . that rear main really doesn't look like crap went through it, more like the clearances were too tight and it got hot? My guess is that it didn't have enough oil and film-strength to prevent journal to bearing surface wear.

What type of bearing clearances were you running for the rear main? I always open the rear main up a bit more than the front two - as it tends to expand more due to the heat from the clutch.

Just curious if you happen to know?

Thanks!
