Small update, I finally got the motor done and it's going back in this evening.

Nicely done, top notch work right there! But there's a combination wrench missing from the wall or tool box!

Welcome and nice work already. Look forward to more updates.

Looks great... nice color choice.

What headers are you running there?

So I ran into some big engine issues about 300 miles in. Currently pulling the motor back out to go back through it.

I lost oil pressure and the oil looks like shit.

It is, what it is

I've also added two videos of what it sounded like once I got the idle tuned in with HP Tuners. It sounded nice before it all went to shit.

That really sux. Figure out what might've happened? Think that's bearing material on your drain plug?

I lost two Cam bearings. Fortunately, the Cam and Crank are okay.

Worst case scenario according to my machine shop is I'll have to get a new block. Since the cam bearings just fell out, chances are the holes in the block are now too big and won't hold new Cam bearings.

If this is the case, I have a iron block 6.0l that needs a crank and I'll probably just go that route. It already has after market pistons and rods and was originally built for boost with lower compression.

Def could've been worse. Do they have a guess how it could've happened? Non lubrication?
