yeah, but i'm hoping to get something together soon. I dis assembled the short block today. All bearings were starved for oil. Removed plugs in the block and all oil galleries are clear. All bearings were in their proper places and everything was tight. I was scratching my head trying to figure what went wrong. the pick up had 1/4" of clearance from the bottom of pan. I thought maybe the purolator oil filter was the issue, but dont think so. I took the oil pump apart and found what looked like a bur riding against the pressure valve. If it was holding that shut not sure enough oil would get thru. heres some pics
