Probably just plain ole oil contamination. I do my best to keep everything clean but chances are something got down into the crank area while I was checking out the camshaft after I found the bent pushrods at the beginning of the year. Was probably a piece of the intake gasket or silicone. No big deal, I could probably polish it with some steel wool and run it but I opted to get a replacement since I'm waiting for tools to get in as well.
Been watching some of the gymkhana files. Watching the hoonicorn fly around is not helping my future financial outlook. I could never build something that insane but I'd still REALLY like to see a hellcat crate or a 6.4L hemi with a Whipple and a 6 speed in this car. Not even going to start something like that until everything but the house is paid off. More motivation to make sure my next job is a big jump up instead of a lateral move.
Need to start figuring out what exactly I'm going to do to the engine bay because this engine should go back together pretty quickly once I have everything.
