Yesterday, there was contact made between me and the original poster over PM. We discussed what has been done to the motor but I was waiting for a sound clip or video to help diagnose the issue. We were unable to locate the original invoice but had not given up. We were waiting for more info on the original purchase of this engine, which now sounds like it was from another party. When we ship out short blocks they are shipped as a block only assembly with only the oil pump bolted on. We do not assemble the pan, head or any other components onto it. We only do this on a long block. I'm not sure where that pan came from but it sure seems like it was bent prior to installing it on the motor. I always turn the motors over by hand prior to completion to double check the rotation of the crank before shipping.

At this point I would pull the rod caps and inspect the bearings for contamination. If none is found I would flush the oil. You could pour some fresh oil in the head and let it drain through the motor with the oil pan on. Next I would install the pan and fill with fresh oil after flushing out or replacing the oil cooler. Make sure to also replace the filter. Disconnect the crank sensor and crank for 30 second intervals while letting the starter cool off in between cranking sessions. I would do this multiple times and then change the oil again. Then I would run the car for a short period of time and change the oil and filter again. After a couple changes I think you should have most of the debris out of the system.

I know you guys need this block back to check for possible errors, but it's flat out impossible for me to pull this thing at the moment. As a business owner, my hours are crazy as I'm sure some of you guys can relate to. I always leave the house at 7:30am and rarely return before 9pm. I will see what I can do, but it may take a few weeks to get this thing out, if at all.
I will let you know about the receipt as soon as I find out. I do not remember if it was purchased directly from you or from a vendor on here.

I clearly need to be more responcable with the money I spend on this car. I spend a crap load. So much I can't even account for it all.

No offense, but how do you not know where you spent $5000+ dollars? I wish I had the kind of green where I could drop that much and not recall where I spent it?
Back on topic - you stated you bought the motor with 40 miles on it, always under 3500rpm, and under 5lbs of boost. Where/how were those miles put on?

I stated that I bought the motor new, assembled the thing. Started it and heard the noise it was making. Thought it was the lifters pressurizing so I drove it around a bit and the noise never subsided so I parked it to find the problem.
