I'm pretty sure your right Clint. The motor came out of Mark Yocum's M37. In the last couple of years it smoked pretty bad. I pulled the head and pan. I replaced the worn rod bearings and the piston rings. The crank had no signs of wear and the bores looked great. The mains still looked brand new. I never inspected the cam bearings or suspected them for any wear.
On another note, I hooked up a pressure gauge to the motor I pulled out of my truck and started it on the floor. Instant 45-50 psi at idle. Looks like I might be putting the motor back in the truck.
