Thanks man, me2! Hopefully when i pull it apart i dont see any unexpected things. If i do my time and money would've been all for nothing . and if so i will be parting out my car . i guess you live and you learn.

the oil pan came off and we seen wear on the bearings! the whole engine came back out and apart and the problem was the way the machine shop shaved the balance shaft and didnt balance it right and now the end is all scratched and looks like an oval now. SMFH! so i just ordered a GSC blance shaft new oil, cooler, pump and bearings from STM who has been helping me with parts through this whole build!!! THANKS GUYS!
