Oil all over

I hate to see it happen to anyone but your not alone by any means. It's how us rookies learn.
When you rebuild it make sure to pressurize the oiling system before rotating the shortblock at all.....I'm on my second lesson after 500 miles on my new motor....this time W2W is building it!

I think i am gonna get a breather, and just take two hoses and run them under the car. like Slohawk said, is there any downside to that. So just plug up the intake, take both runs of the passenger side valve cover and run them down to the bottom of the car.

Strange it happened to the Driver side of the motor Nasty TA.. Didn't get enough fuel to these cylinders with 11psi. Done anything about it to prevent your driver side from going lean in the future?

The signs about the pistons you already have them LOL! Pull the oil fill cap off while it is idleing and see if you have a Choo Choo train comming out. That will be the final sign with out doing a leak down test on it. Good luck! Look in my sig you will see we have all been there.
unfortunately i had the same problem, start the car and pop the oil cap , if you have a choo choo thing going on you have a blown ringland.
now i'm working my *** off to save up for a forged block.

Yep sorry to say man if its do the choo choo train out the oil fill its a broken ring land....... i kept going and ble a chunk out of the block and head so they were all worthless and couldnt be reused..... so if its that stop driving the car now before you hurt it even more.....
