Close up shot of the Ultra Grey silicone around the front timing cover area. (yeah, I copper coated my head gasket...I know some don't, but I do.)

Worn through timing chain cover. The scary thing is that I didn't have a dual row chain....the two very different distinct wear lines are from the thrust bearings coming out and the crank had 1/4" of play front to back in it! That's what ultimately trashed the block.

Image of the LCE Oil Crank Scraper installed. I'm running a separate oil cooler, and remote dual ford 3001 filter set up on the rig. I'm estimating she will take 7-8 quarts of Royal Purple to fill her up, and with the adjustable oil pressure bypass, high oiling rocker arms, HD oil pump, and cooler, I figured a crank scraper would help keep the oil from foaming in the pan, and ensure that the pick up was always submerged. It's normally a racing guy thing to keep extra weight off your rotating assembly, but I got it to keep my oil where it's supposed to be.

Gotta love taking a computer desk and turning it into a work station in your living room, but I don't currently have a garage, and needed a good spot to work.

I thought I only needed to replace the head gasket at first, possibly the timing chain. When I took off the oil pan to get the broken plastic timing guides, I found the trust washers and realized I would need a total rebuild. Engine in the photo is out of an '83 Toyota Celica with the domed pistons
