Well I got it pulled and took it to a performance engine rebuilder on the north side of Columbus. He is going to try and get it tore down fairly quickly to let me know the extent of the damage. Between surfing it and the oil leak I am not expecting good news.

I talked to indmar and they did not update the oil pick up. My rebuilder seems interested in trying to modify the pickup. Once the pan is off we can then figure out the current set up.

Indmar no longer has manifolds for my engine. That isn't the news I wanted to hear. Anyone have a lead on a set of exhaust manifolds for the 8.1?
