I have a new to me car that Im positive the car was tracked at some time.
The build is only 2 years old.
THe mods are :
term X headers 100 lb injectors BTR stage 3 cam with dual valve springs dyno tuned for 400 whp rev limiter 6800....
cam bearings NOT done but crank bearing were...OIl pump modified for higher PSI (I'm not seeing that PSI at all)

So upon taking possision of the car, I was very pleased with it.
Sounded great ran great. NO issues to speak of.
BUT then I changed the oil to Mobile 1 5w30 using a blue AC delco filter ( I don't think ill use those again)
and I almost immediately noticed a tick which got louder when it got warmer. ....
Then I noticed low oil PSI (only when hot) so I drained the fresh oil

PSI numbers were as follows:
cold start 50 PSI drops to 40ish
warmer (coolant tmep 190) I was seeing 30 PSI even at 4500 RPM
HOT coolant temp 210 and I started seeing a slight reduction in PIS like mid 20's and idle was 10 even seen it hit 8 once
Now I know the oil sensor is not that great and the screen may be clogged. (ill know soon as I have the motor mostly undressed just have to pull the cam sensor to get the oil sensor out) anyway this prompted me to drop the pan but as I drained the oil I seen the glitter in the oil..

Questions are
1) I plan on doing crank and con rod bearings-- WIll I need to measure anything assuming there is no damage to the crank? WIll I need to do a break in? The main bolts were reused should I get new ones?
2) how do I know about undersized of oversized bearings? IM NEW but seasoned wrenched
3) I think link lifters seem like a good plan with the dual valve springs and the BTR stange 3 already installed (ill do cam bearings )
4) Basicaly I just wanna know if I can just drop all new bearings in and send it no machine shop **** etc (this is assuming the cam and crank don't have any scoring)
5) I also wanna do the rings - is there any thing special I need to know or do? or again can I just snap em on and run? Do I need to do any honing? Again assuming no scoring etc....
I have never done this to an engine before but Ibe done many other things and over all it looks easy.
6) finally I know I need to measure the push rods, but is there a recipe I can find with my cam and springs ( I believe these are the specs 231/242 .617"/.592" 112+2)

I just wanna upgrade everything on the top for higher safe churning for longevity. again trunnion upgrade, better push rods (what length w/o measuring) and bar lifters (or maybe you can talk me into Ls7) and the bottom I wanna have no oil burning issues and I wanna ride it hard for 200k lol sure I may need to change the heads some time but that's no big deal...

THANKS this is my first post here BTW so be nice hahaha

I believe the top right image was taken while moving. THe rest are at idle and you can see as temp goes up PSI drops barely acceptable levels. IF the glitter was not present I would not be so worreid.

My next step is to use a coffee filter on the container I empteid this into, but the bottom of this container looked like a gold panners dream

 

Copper from the bearings.
Yes, it has to come completely apart and be cleaned/inspected.
What the hell are " 100 lb injectors" doing in that engine for a 400hp build?
Pooch the tune, wash the bearings with fuel, and you have the mess you now see.
Post the TERX file from the Terminator. It has to be a zip file.
If you have a short log file, send it too.

does that work
the tune is there and several logs

 

Her
its on its way out waiting for a cherry picker now

 

A quik look at the tune...
Learn table is limited to 50% and is adding the max from about 900rpm and a MAP of 50KPA.
You have idle speed at 1050.
