Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comp Cams is paying for my rebuild. For those that dont know the Comp lifters were defective and caused an oil issue on my 385. Damaged the crank and a rod. The pulled the lifters rom the market and are going to compensate me for my engine.

The car was running three weeks agao and running well. But the lifters caused an oil issue that ruined the bearings and the crank and rods. Not too big a deal since that bottom enf has been with me for a while now. The block is in Houston right now being made into a 415 ci monster. Comp will likely be ponying up between $1500-$2000 for the build.
The new 415 should be on its way back here in about 10-15 days. It wont take long to get back on track because all of the top end was setup. Ill just need to check pushrod lenght and get some new ones.
Anyways...this works out well.
But its great because usually the little guy gets screwed in the high performance world.
