Just changed oil at 1000 miles on rebuild...sad day.

Ive got an N/A block out of a 94 sl....128k miles.

I'm not sure if that's even compatible with a turbo setup. I thought the turbo blocks had oil squirters and the N/As didn't? I could be wrong though. I've only worked with this block. Not that you NEED the oil squirters, but I prefer them.

Oh, and if it's out of a 94 I'm pretty certain its a 4-bolt main. I have a brand new 2-bolt oil pan and I really don't feel like the whole 4-bolt conversion.

NA never had a 4 bolt, oil squirters are a debated topic up and down. Seen big power with and without them. All NA blocks are 2 bolt. If you want the oil squirters and 2 bolt, you want a 91-92 TT block only

Ahhh...ok. So my oil pump and pan would bolt right up? What its condition? and what are you looking to get out of it? I would more than likely keep my pistons and have to bore it out to match so.

Well...I've decided I'm going to sell my '06 kawasaki ninja 636 this spring and put all of my focus on my car. I plan on using the extra funds on a Pampena 3.1 and college tuition. The bike was a HS graduation gift to myself and I've had my fun for now but nothing seems to be exciting as twisties on 4 wheels (and safer). I can always pick up another bike after college.

Wait so you did drop the plan and confirm you did spin the bearings?

No I have not. I'm almost 100% certain the metallic flakes came from my engine so I feel that pulling the motor during the off season will be beneficial regardless if it actually spun. If it hasn't, fantastic. I will then tear it apart and clean it again and try to diagnose this weird ticking noise. If it has spun, which I think it did, or is about to, then I tear it down and diagnose the extent of the damage. I'm hoping to save as many of my internals as possible and send them to Pampena Motorsports for a fresh 3.1 build, done professionally. This motor has been cursed with multiple bearing failures and if there's anyone that can remove ALL of the remaining metal particles, it will be Pampena.
