Message	IPP St. 3 build, oil starved on hard right sweeper: We came to the conclusion there must have been a blockage in the oil passages in the crank, the other bearings and mains showed minor scoring, but # 5 was so grenaded the bearing flattened and extruded chunks. Rebuilt the engine locally with a different crank. Haven't had any hard track duty since. Will be hitting up our new roadcourse this spring.
