Re: motor finally ---- on me
I just tore the motor down, found out that I spun the number 3 rod bearing, good thing I caught before it was too late, no additional damage, crank looks great still polished and smooth. the rod look reusable buts it blue from the friction heat. so I am gonna replace it. will rebuild this until I get my sleeved block.
question for the people who have experience only: since I took the whole motor apart, is it fine to use a ball hone to pass through the cylinders without having to replacing the rings? only doing this because rings were seated but I removed them so they may need a new hone

After Leroy says 23psi from SC61 this is Jeff's response.
No one found this odd that his biggest concern was timing NOT the fact of 23psi of a turbo that flows more than 2 14b's, haha.
Oh, and glad to see nothing was ridiculously wrong. Good luck with getting it back to raping.

The rod's temper is just as ruined. Put it on the wall as a trophy or throw it away.
You need to rehone in order to seat new rings. If the bores look mint with good crosshatching, you just need a light glaze break hone.
All in all not as bad as it could be - a few hundred bucks and you're back in the saddle assraping all comers.
