[QUOTE="BYEPOLR, post: 16425609, member: 194103"] Thank you very much guys! I sincerely appreciate you. I mean that. We managed to undo what took 3 months to DO in a few hours today lol We found the issue and it’s maddening to say the least. We’re running a ford performance remote oil filter. We were positive that lines weren’t crossed. Well, they had to have been. The block portion of the adapter was not marked IN/OUT but the filter portion was. We presumed (this is where we have to accept full responsibility, never assume anything you’re not positive about). Well, clearly what we though was in...was out. [ATTACH=full]1642743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1642744[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1642745[/ATTACH] So, we got the pan off and noticed a high concentration off metal shavings but only at the back of the pan (which would make sense being furthest from the pump/filter). We knew then it was either a main bearing or thrust bearing. After pulling the main cap it looked just fine. Sigh of relief number one. All rod clearance was still fine. More relief. The thrust bearing was absolutely destroyed. But as long as the crank didn’t spin the bearing in the block we might have escaped major catastrophe. Thankfully it did NOT. The block is fine. Actually, even the crank could use just a polish and be fine. Since Boss Forged cranks are only $400 new I’ll play it safe and go that route. We’ll be able to get away with a set of main bearings, the crank and call it a day. [ATTACH=full]1642746[/ATTACH] All that to say, we may get this thing back and ready for the dyno in a couple weeks. No need to send the block off. I’m thankful to God for showing me some mercy on this one! Truth be told the extra adversity will only make me appreciate this car more when it’s finally on the road Again, thank each of you so much Sent from my iPhone using the [url=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=92568]svtperformance.com mobile app[/url] [/QUOTE]
