Blocks trashed. Main journal was so hot it softened and smashed out of round .008. So decided it would be cheaper to get another block and crank so I don't have to have oversized bearings, pay for line boring, machining of the crank, and them rebuild. So process has begun of locating a replacement b16a block. I do have a question for those following anyone do a turbo build have you switched oil? Or used the OE spec oil weight. Im wondering if I maybe switch oil I might get some more protection for the future. Any recommendations?

Thanks. I need input on repaint color choices. i was considering something like a Midnight purple, Burgundy, Darker blue, or just straight black.
:brokenComputer: I WANT ONE but consider Vintage Plum Pearl, its not dark and its not light and im sure it looks real nice on these chassis.

th machine shop said i didnt have to run oversized bearings? is that true? i mean whenever i built a motor i used stock or bearings that the size was specified by the machine shop but the block was line bored (nothing done to the crank except a polish) and he said i can still used stock bearings?? how does that work since material was removed??
