Soooo long story short I had a little bit of an oil pressure issue with my motor after I swapped on the sxe362, so fast forward to now and I have made some excellent progress!

Here's whats been going on

Harvest went excellent. broke the yield record for my farm! 64 bushels per acre with soybeans! So with that being said, as of right know a set of 5X.018 injectors, valair triple disk, 188/220 cam, a pretty badass intake shelf from zz fab (with nitrous spray bar), and a few other small things have been ordered. Engine is coming out of the truck this week to get off to the machine shop, going to receive a full port and polish, rotating assembly balanced, head will be redone, rods shot peened and cryoed.

Its been a loooong road but I cannot tell you all how excited I am to be moving forward with these all out VE pump shenanigans!

Did a gauge tell you that or did borg tell you?

Indicated by an ev2 isspro and turned out to be more than a little oil pressure issue. I lost a case bolt and broke the oil pump idler off. Fortunately I got it shut fast enough. It's really a perfect storm of bad luck. I had built my compounds around my old s363, well I got in a hurry and never reinstalled my 2nd oil pressure gauge because I of course wanted to go test it out. Out on my drive the so when the gauge dropped to 0 I figured my sender had finally died, so that little adventure toasted the s363. I ordered a supercore sxe 362 and switched it out and to make matters worse the stock sender broke in 2 pieces as I was screwing it out. So boom I figured it was just that. But nope. Follow borg's pre oiling procedure. Install my isspro sender, start her up and 0 oil pressure.

Pulled the engine down and only had one beat up cam journal and one scored piston. Bearings looked pretty good for ~300,000 miles and then this disaster on top.

Interesting enough it didn't start knocking at any point.
