S5 N/A Eng pics.. Just bought this core
I just picked up this S5 N/A core today. The guy had it rebuilt 1k miles ago from a local shop that's not here anymore. I can't believe it.. Lucky I didn't pay that much for it. The rotor housings are still like brand new..

I feel your pain.
As someone who has broken down three motors and has found *one* salvageable rotor out of six, I agree that it can be a frustrating experience.

How badly do engines suffer after being involved in a fire? I found a core I can pull for cheap but it looks like the PD failed and it burned out. The plastics are melted, but not gone, so it doesn't seem like it burned for long, but I tried to pop the UIM off to grab something else and I couldn't get it to elease from the LIM even after stomping on it from above.

There are 4 bolts and two nuts holding it. you sure?
If that doesn't work, you can take a piece of wood and a rather large hammer and knock it off

lol, man if you have seriously tried jumping on a prybar, there has to be something holding it on, like the two nuts that are easy to miss if this is your first time getting it off.
Honestly, if you have all the nuts/bolts out, then you need to give the intake a good shock, not a gradual one like with a prybar.
Like I said, small square block of wood on top, and a nice big sledge hammer. lol, pretty crude, but it will work
"knock that sum bitch off" so to say

IS this just your guess, or did you disassemble the engine in question?
I can see lack of the nylon washer allowing the oring to move and break. and this would cause low oil pressure. I'm not sure I can see it causing NO oil pressure, which is what I see as the cause of the damage there. It's possible, I'm just not 100% convinced that's the only cause. But, if you saw it with your own eyes, I'll take your word for it.

i didn't see if with my own eyes, but that's the first thing that popped in my head, so i aim'd gonzo last night and asked if it had the washer....nope.
there's not a whole lot else it could be.
