This just baffles me, I know the block and crank are made from a looser grained iron, but seriously, what else could cause have caused it? Any ideas are appreciated.
ACT 2900?

I'm too scared to put in my 2600. Right now I'm running a stock pressure plate and am not sure what I'll do when it craps out. Same motor, 4G64 7 bolt but with OEM bearings (ended up using 3 different sizes as per the manual/ouija board) and OEM main bolts. I've sent two samples of oil to Blackstone labs (one at 500 miles and the other at 3000) and so far so good, but I still have zero confidence in the motor. Even less now. [/b][/quote]
You made it past 1K. Your confidence should be going up. Typically if it's going to go it will do it in 1K or less. But we are talking about 7 bolts here so you can never really be sure.
