Nah i checked it and it looks worse than it is i freaked out when i zoomed in on it then checked it and its smooth as same as the rest anyway i cleaned the factory oil pump and now just tinkering

that inside of the big end of the bottom right rod looks terrible doesn't it. is that just the shit casting finish? almost looks like the bearing shell had been spinning inside it

You're doing an awesome job Action Man.
That distributor and oil pump, look brand new!
 
Question -
does the oil pump, have an anti-drain back valve built into it?
Interesting marks on the crank 2ma1dede033475a26ddaa94416780de593b.jpg

Going back a bit to cranks:

1M: 221/260/289
2M: 302
3M: 351W/351M
4M: 351C
5M: 400

"A" afterwards means high nodularity
"-B" is a Brinnell hardness test

So a 4MA-B is the best clevo crank.

After a certain year, most cranks were high nodularity so 302s from then on got 2MAs.
