EDIT: I got around to uploading the pictures from my camera.(Note: this engine is the eb mods pre-run in motor and has 1 1/4 gallons on it)

Notice the taper on the crank pin


This is the amount of slop caused by it(my finger is holding it against the pin so its on the pin straight, no trick photography)


random picture of the block with eds engraving


somewhere i have a picture of the piston almost going through the top of the sleeve, ill have to find it.
Ouch!!!! I to have sent in a motor from EB with major rod slop! I expect Chad will take care of it for me. It was definately the crank pin wearing away as I put a new rod in and it had the same slop.

I have another .24 broke in by Chad. It has 1.5 gallons and runs great! I hope to get 6 to 8 gallons from it.
