30,000 rpm? Wow....there may be a future for you in Formula 1 racing.

The former.

Or you simply have an occlusion in one place in the oil galley(s).

When you removed the bearings, did you take the time to actually read the stamped size on the back of the bearings? I had a 2000 alh (which had never been opened up since leaving the factory) which I disassembled and rebuilt when I acquired the car. It turned out that the conn rod bearings were...

Soon, only criminals will have air bubbles. This whole things reads like an old woman's soap opera. I have a fleet of older 1.6's and ALH's in constant service. When I acquire or put together any of these, I literally toss the "clear" lines and sub-in black rubber lines from O'reilly's, etc...
