This is the engine my original T5 was attached to.
best part was the engine still ran ok with a vibration and knocking sound.
No idea how it showed oil pressure with no oil (gudion pin straight through sump) and all bearings spun. One whole rod and piston turned to fine powder and bent valves in that cyl as well as chipped cam lobes where the valves were struck lol. push rods were fine though, somehow

This appears to be the cause of the lunched turbo a few posts above. Engine pic for reference. Nothing was seriously bent, some pitting in some of the pistons but the valve damage was probably what killed the turbo.

Recently had a mate buy a Come 355 rotating assy for an early 308 block, he dropped the motor over, I spent a few nights on the block, modding the oiling system as per
Come specs, did the trial assy to work the amount needed to zero deck it, .020" , he sent it to a friend at a local machine shop, came back looking like this in
3 bores at the same location, the mate still wants me to assemble the motor.
I placed a head gasket next to the carnage to show how I doubt it'll seal, he still want's it assembled, I guess I'm about to find out just how good the Devcon
plastic steel is, or isn't.
Deck was fine until the .020 chop.
