Well boys....Ill have a large comprehensive update coming in a bit.
But, to let you know current status: Everything was fully disassembled, cleaned, new bearings etc, and the motor did the SAME exact thing; promptly decided to eat itself in less than 100 miles.
I havent even started teardown yet, only drained oil, cut open filter, saw chunks, turned off lights in the garage and grabbed a drink.
Im going to need a few days before i dig back into it, because in all honesty im feeling very down and demotivated. Ill need to work myself back up to it, because i am out of steam.
Anyways, just wanted to say, "Stay tuned"

I hope you see this post and can give me, and the others who were so invested, an ending to this horror story.
