With a Busa , I'm sure you need head work, and about your used bottom end?
Love always!!!

If the crank was not set up properly when the work was done, I highly doubt it would
take five months for it to show up. Look for what may have caused the problem, there's
a reason in there somewhere.

That's what I would have said too. For a shell bearing to spin the friction between the crank journal and the bearing has to be greater than the friction between the con-rod and the bearing, usually lack of lubricant. As long as the previous work was carried out correctly......were the crank journals checked to make sure they weren't out-of-round? Are the con-rods straight? All that stuff needs checking and it might even be worth having the crank re-ground if you're going to all the trouble of taking the engine apart.
