So I am just about at rage quit point. A rod bearing has let go.

I noticed some extra material on the magnetic bung, way more than the first drain. Assumed it was from the destroyed turbo bearing. Looks like it was from that and more I guess. I cannot in good conscience blame the builder as up until the turbo failure it has been a great motor.

Found a stock long block on ebay. Will get that brought in and swap everything over. As time allows next year I'll have the built motor repaired.
