Bummer dmc, thats what burned up oil looks like. Unfortunately I've been there done that. Took out the mains. Should be a cheap fix though as long as it didn't spin a bearing.

there isn't going to be anything cheap about this. and if you don't figure out exactly why the oil got 400 degrees and took out the bottom end, your next post will be, " gee i just had my motor rebuilt and it blew up again almost immediatly"

Were you running stock oil coolers? Brad at CPPerformance hooked me up with a deal on oil temp gauges and senders.

long story,motor builder said he'd take care of any problems.So he will get both motors...two years to get them back..last time ..supposed to be dyno'd..this motor had NO carbon in the exaust ..(had to remove manifolds when they came back.) he sword both were broken in.. "so go out and run them"..I informed him a month ago.. he will get them rite..want to see higher oil pressure thought..
exactly what has he demonstrated so far that makes you believe you will get anything back that's usable assuming you ever get it back at all ?
cut your loss and try to grind a cash settlement out of him and find someone that knows what they are doing to fix your stuff.
and thats assuming that the previous post that suggested that your oil lines weren't reversed isn't correct... because youre going to feel awfully foolish if that turns out to be the case.
as for the oil coolers... if they were the right size before, then they still are and you can clean them and reuse them just fine as long as you actually DO clean them properly. throwing away oil coolers is a myth promoted by the guys that sell them.
