Incredible picture of your car in the wild Bill! Did you do something to the crank girdle to make it gold colored?

Nope, straight from the factory. First time it has been opened up. 120k miles on the clock. Did the rod bearings as well. The infamous #2 bearing (picture) and all others looked great and plastigaged at the same clearances as the factory new bearings. I do run Mobil 1 oil as it resists foaming better than dino oil.
