Finally got to splitting the case last night. Found some issues that would have been catastrophic had they not been found. Thanks again everyone for convincing me to split the case.
#3 rod bearing was within hundreds of miles of failure, IM shaft thrust bearing was on it's last leg as well.
I've purchased GT3 main and rod bearings and am having the crank mic'd and polished as well as the rods refurbished and ARP rod bolts installed. IM shaft will be refinished and I've found some pitting on the Aluminum IM shaft gear so I'm most likely replacing that as well.
I still need to crack open the oil pump and inspect for wear as I fear that bearing material made its way in there.
Case Split:
Crank Removed:
Crank on Flywheel:
Cylinder Heads Finished:
ARP Rod Bolts:
