    made 3 hits on new combo
    brad 5 with grp rods
    010/010 crank
    brad 100 tall forged block
    4.467x 4.250
    on a 2 step and it was rich
    timing was 18 degrees (bad track???)
    rod bearings on the back side look like
    black film that if rubbed off on my finger
    it looks like its polishing the aluminum rod
    bearing looks good on crank surface

    Are you sure you have .010 under bearings in the rods? How about the bearing tangs, are they going flat? Sounds like the bearings are fretting against the rods leaving the black residue.:confused:
