got her on the ground this weekend, changed the lsd fluid too....i don't think it was ever changed in her lifetime, when i had the wheels in the air, i spun one, and the other followed suit instead of spinning the opposite way, so i think it might be shot

here are the leftovers in the drain pan



gettin closer guys........ :evil2:
my ic pipe hits my compressor housing though.....:3d_frown::3d_frown:

on first startup i heard a knocking...so here is the product of the first oil change
well....went to change the oil and inspect the filter...so i drained the old oil....looked a little wierd for 10 or 15 minutes of running time, but i did use some of that oil dye (not more than recommended) so i think that might be the culprit...at least i know its the culprit to the little bright green spots







well.....fuck my life.....found out that this is nothing short of rod knock.....i know this because i got the filter off today....shook it....head some rattling around inside of it. I dump it out to find this....





fucking mud dobbers.....anytime i had an open port in the engine i was sure to stuff either plastic bags, or rags into the gap to make sure nothing got in....guess i was wrong....the shop i had the car in was infested with mud dobbers...i never found any of thier nests in the car, or in the engine bay...i found 3 or 4 on the under carriage of the car....and one in the oil pan from intitial assembly before i had oil in it. I took off the pan, and took a flashlight to where i could see and my hand to everywhere a flashlight would't reach and that was the only one.....so i thought......i'm not sure when i'll get to tear in to this because i don't have 100+$ for bearings....hopefully the crank and rods are fine....i did one last running video just to make sure after i tightened up the crank pulley last night and changed the oil. i'll post that vid here in a minute.....i'm so fed up right now.

I got it all torn apart to find some really nasty oil and some ugly bearings. The oil flickered in the sun like wet metallic paint. The crank weights had some heat marks on them you can see that in the pics. The rods and rod journals looked fine with no deep appearing scratches or none that i could feel with my fingernail. The filter i removed was only ran for 2 or so minutes with it knocking and thank god there were no solids hanging out in there unlike the old one. Although i did dump out the filter and after it spilled all the oil inside of itself it was still pretty heavy not sure if thats normal on a wix. I didn't take the main caps off because i was losing daylight and i was curious if there was a way to get to the motor(top) side of the main bearings without removing the flywheel and stuff. Can i get away with not replacing the mains? I'm not sure i figured i would ask the community for there input because i always get some good ideas from you guys. Do you guys think a set of std clevites would suffice as long as i do this by the tsrm with a quality snap on torqe wrench and some plastigauge i have access to a mic also.
And is there any way to get all the old oil out without pulling the motor?

Here is a vid of it before the teardown. Excuse the nasty cluttered engine bay i plan to sort that out once i get it running right. Also excuse the shitty running i think my relocated coils have a shitty ground. Tell me what you guys think.
