I don't have a log from that because I was literally going around the block with the new trans controller just to see if it was shifting the trans. I am going to add a fuel pressure sensor in and most likely change to a returnless rail and add a boost reference regulator. It has a 450 Walbro pump in the tank and 3/8" supply and 5/16" return so I wouldn't imagine it starving but maybe something restricting the filter. I have literally stuck the throttle to the floorboard a handful of times and only had the trans problems. This was a pretty mellow 1/2 throttle cruise when it shut down. I am pretty sure this was letting go for a bit now, explaining the PCV problem I was having. I think they went one by one and that is what caused the turbo problems that were occurring just prior to it shutting down. I did pull the plugs and those four were smashed closed but didn't have any pit marks that were obvious so I threw an old set in and it fired right up. I never did see chunks of metal in the turbines on either turbo which gave me hope that it was maybe just backpressure causing the PCV issue but now that its apart all hope is gone unless I get a set of GEN4 rods and pistons.

Well I may just drop the coin and do a fuel cell and run -8 feed and -6 return and run a second pump with -8 to a regulator and bigger rails. It all depends on my mood when I go to see this 6.0 tomorrow. I have another running 5.3 which is a thought to get it in and running while I build the 6.0 but we will see tomorrow. Really appreciate the help and suggestion of fuel supply. I may take it apart tomorrow to see if the filter is nasty or something with the regulator.

Went through a couple of the first logs with only around 115kpa while running the auto tune and didn't see anything jump out after it dialed the VE table. One good log of WOT did show a quick 12.0 where it was commanding 11.3 but not sure if it was fuel or table error.

Looks like they ran a hand full of BB's threw it. I'd take that back and shove it straight up someone's ***. And charge them $100 for the wasting my time. You just can't catch a break on this thing, I admire your perseverance.

Block is stripped down and at least the crank didn't have an angle grinder run across it! Hope was to get the block cleaned and checked then honed and reassemble somewhat on the cheap for now. Looks like it will get all that and some new parts. Definition of cheap: less then someone else spends! Haha
I have gone through quit a few broken motors but have yet to come across one where the cam bearing actually walked out of the bore!
