Message	The plan is to get my original motor built and still run my car with this motor. This motor did not have oil starvation, but the pan and pickup tube was bent from shipping which is pretty typical from what I have seen. I know for a fact that this motor was running fine before, just the turbo's were shot. A compression test and leakdown test was performed by the seller and the numbers were very good. The motor is still pretty much together, I just stripped it down to a almost a longblock to do maintenance: 1. 120k service - belts, seals, etc. 2. replace oil pan and pick up tube 3. clean up 4. Throttle body water jacket bypass 5. EGR delete etc.
