Maybe? Thankfully, there are no other signs that the motor is tired at the moment. No noticeable oil consumption, no coolant consumption, no misfire codes, no smoke out the exhaust, no loss of power, no damage/wear to crank observed, and no damage/wear to cams. The engine is stock (aside from K&N panel filter), there's no tune on the engine, just using the stock Boss track key. I am pretty anxious to get the oil analysis back from Blackstone.Your motor is done. You can't just throw bearings in a Coyote and band-aid it like a motor from the 60s. Most likely, you just clearanced something even more with the new bearings. You have an oil starvation issue, a tune that detonated and hammered those bearing to death, or both. Pull the motor, assess what is salvagable, and get started on a replacement.
Aside from this noise when the engine is heat soaked, the motor feels really, really strong. That last race was by far my best event, finishing ~.500sec from 2nd place (out of 62). For a "blown motor" it's really making a few Porsche GT3 & GT4 cars work hard to beat it.
