Looks like problems with bearing clearances, get the motor over to Shawn @ VA Speed and he will fix it for good.

plasti gauge was used i just dont remember the clearances

this build has about 25k miles.

ill just redo the motor as cheap as possible to get it on the road... not gonna sink anymore money in this 347, but i will be picking up a 6l block soon to build
