Don't waste any time deciding on your oil cooler if you are trying to get up and running soon.

I saw that at Matt's shop. The hole in the pan was the first thing I noticed and of corse the silver paint. Good luck, Matt will have that thing working soon then you'll be spilling beers with the rest of us.

yep, btdt. 5200rpm-0rpm-cylinder wall lying in the bilge in a big puddle of oil and water. My block was in 13 pieces. It fell apart when I unbolted the sheet metal parts. Snapped an ARP rod bolt clean and all hell broke loose for about 3 seconds.

3 seconds= 260 revolutions.
Mine was at over 6K and even though I thought I jerked the stick back "really really fast" I figured the broken rod swung around having sex with everything 300 plus times.
Of course the lake was quickly engulfed in white smoke too.
