Re: New Motor, 1000 Miles?
if the rings and piston to wall clearance have been built for boost and you drive it n/a for xxxx miles then you haven't even begun to break-in the motor because the rings will seat properly when they see what ever range of boost the motor was built for. you definetly don't stand a chance at having this motor run longer than 3 rippers. you tossed oem honda bearings for generic napa bearings 
i bet the old bearings were good. well look on the bright side when you throw a rod you'll have a nice peep hole in your block
