no oil no motor....the pics
Well here is what we found after the engine pull:
here is where I fried the inner bearing...see the skid marks?
this is pic of the side seals...they are frozen flat and see the metal to metal scuffs
the side housings didn't like running without oil either
The turbos seemed to have survived...but the freaking housing has cracks!!!grrrrrrrrr

Damn man, that really sucks.
BTW - I dont think those exhuast will cause you any problems. When I pulled mine off to do the stage 3's mine was way worse than that and I'm still using it no problem.

really?! Thanks for the turbo advice...
Turbojeff,
The mechanics here at Marvelspeed in texas kinda have the engine pull/install thing to an art...I just kinda pulled off a bolt here and there to make me feel better that I was helping

Is it due to the material that the turbo housing is made out of and the high heat?
do the 99's fare better?
Anyways...they are going to spec out the parts to see how many of them are FUBAR...
but the funny thing is at least the apex seals survived a blown engine! Is that a first???

Removing the harness with the engine allows the mechanic to stand up and fully walk around the motor to remove the harness from the motor. Removing the harness from the engine while it is in the car means you have to pretty much strip the top of the motor down to the block all while bending over your pretty fenders. Back for my knees, back and your fenders.
Like I said, it was just a suggestion, lots of times those shops have "new" mechanics, maybe you got one of them.
Either way good luck with the rebuild.
