HB and JB---
We should get paid by O.S. for solving that problem!!!. Holy #%$$ I'm pissed off----
I have been racking my brain over this motor for the past 6 weeks----new bearings----new rod and pins-----new pis/sleeve----plugs--- and most important my time!!!. I've been in a winter point series for the last five weeks----95% of the time working on that motor!!! O.S. better do something about That motor and fast!!! 300.00 then you have to replace the front bearing for another 20-30 bones then you still have a motor that's grinding and spitting metal flake in the motor-------I've got one word-----------%$#$$^%@ !!!.
On the good side of things I have a RB C5BB with a 2020 pipe that will be here in the AM from ASHFORD HOBBIES.
It sounds like OS has 4 new motors that have this problem and they don't want to do anything about it. I like my buddies V spec, but I've read too many horror stories and I went with a P5X instead.

Why type of spacer should be used on the wristpin? Copper, alloy, stainless, ect...
Aluminum or copper would work. Aluminum would be best.
