So, been to the engine shop today to collect my bearings and have them inspect a few bits.
Crank - ok (rod journal 1 cleaned up fine)
Rods - ok
Little ends - ok
Main bearings - ok
After inspecting the failed bearing, they are adamant it's failed due to heat and lack of lubrication caused by oil full of petrol when the engine was at it's most vulnerable.
My fault really as I should of run it in on the standard ecu and loom so hey ho! Lesson learnt.
