Bummer about your engine, but your projects looks awesome!
I love reading threads like this. DIY engine build, quick spooling fun street and autoX machine, not going for massive numbers, and not done by a shop or even in a huge fancy garage, but a driveway in a cold climate. And you know the value of good handling over just power. I can completely relate to you.

Wish you good progress and keep us updated.

P.S: Is that an SR or KA in your garage? Hard to tell with the cloth on it.

Any idea why the tensioner went bad ? Were you running stock valve train when all of the damage occurred ? Any idea what you oil pressure was like up until the point of failure ?

Nice build btw...

thanks.. i do not know what my oil pressure was at the time
my valve train was %100 stock, only mods were an intercooler and down pipe that came with the car.
and i have no idea why the tensioner **** the bed, the dealer had done a headgasket job for me maybe 7k prior to this happening and apparently they used all the original timing components if that had anything to do with it.?
