Found my problem.
On the last pass of the season in the 10.50 index against Dave my car didnt run the number. It only went a 10.67 so I knew something was wrong. About a month ago I pulled on all the valve springs to make sure I didnt break a spring. Set the lash again and fired it up. It was making a slight knocking. Oil pressure was solid and good as always. I pulled the manifold to check for bad lifter and all looked good so out came the motor today. Crank and rod will be at machine shop this week.

Perhaps they should say "it's even cheaper yet to not marry her (or him) in the first place!" LOL.
Twice? I'd even suggest not making that (HUGE) mistake even just once?! 
Truth is, there are still some good/happy marriages out there so it certainly can't be ALL bad...but notice I did say only "some" LOL.
