I hope that bearing didn't spin in the block. Pretty much ruins the block.
Fingers crossed there!

The concern with that statement...

You blew lots of oil out of the engine, then shortly after experience engine problems relating to lack of oil.

SO just how much oil was lost ?

Not much, It sprayed out the knock sensor gasket.. id say 1/8 quart.. it was enough to layer my valley cover. Dont worry oil level was checked before going back up and it was still right up near the full line.

I did not save the data log we only got 1 good log and that was from the run in the video... it was running fat. 10.3 then pulled timing out when the computer thought it needed to shift. So we leaned it a little and fixed the computer thinking it needs to shift. Then went up again, that was the run with the slip and when it all went wrong.. And its my fault i did not log it... I seen 2 rain drops hit my window when driving up to staging lanes. Then started rushing and forgot to start the log... that run when i glanced down it was 10.7-10.8 so still a little fat but safe. 8.7 psi 16 degrees of timing

The car has been professionally tuned on the dyno but ofcourse real world vs dyno is different.

And my tuner was the one at the track with me trying to get it dialed in.

Update, pressure tested my heads trying to figure out my losing coolant issue and each head has small cracks around the center bolt. So got another set of used 317s gonna pressure test these first before I go through all the work again.
