The engine was making lots of noise and a crazy amount of blow by when I shut it off. To be honest not real sure how long it ran with out oil pressure. I had opened it up for the first time after I broke it in for about a hour. And was messing with trim trying to see what the boat liked.

That’s just oil on the tang. In person it doesn’t look beat up at all. I’ll try another distributor and see what happens then pull it apart and check the crank hoping I can get away with just throwing a set of bearings I’m it. Thank you everyone for all your input

only one gasket. I’ve been swamped lately and haven’t touched it but I think my buddy has a distributor with a slip collar I can borrow to try.
