I love the glittery sparkles in the oil pan. They add a nice effect.

Did Amsoil give him a new engine ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)

OK OK I was just kidding....
OK OK I was just kidding....I am no testing expert, but I think iron is going to be pretty high in a UOA of that oil ![[Razz]](images/icons/tongue.gif)
Are you sure that came out of a sunbird? With the sparkles and the shades, that looks like something the Hubble telescope might have taken. Probably a nebula something or another!
there's GOLD in them there metal chunks.
If you think that looks bad, you should check that guy's shorts......maybe not....

I did find this in the first (and only) 350 I ever re-built-
Apparently, I failed to properly torque down the rod caps. The nuts spun off at about 2,500 rpm if I recall. After towing how, we did a tear down and found af ew other objects.
The cam was broken into five pieces.
A rod bearing folded up like a stick of gum.
Chunks of cylinder bore.
The rod cap with part of it sheared off.
A shattered hydraulic lifter. (I can take it apart to see inside)
Motto, always check your work. I think I was 19 at the time and figuerd a book was all I would need to assemble an engine. ![[Frown]](images/icons/frown.gif)
Oh yeah, the oil was Penzoil. I think I had 100 miles tops on the engine when this happened.
