where are you getting the work done? where did you get the AP2 engine?
i just had James Evans (about 10 miles east of Towson) install and AP2 engine/ tranny in my future race car.... I am in for a pile of $$$$$.
Goodluck with the car.... i see the tranny is out too, so are you getting AP2 also?

I believe the oil pump may have failed, and then spun a rod bearing or locked something up in the rotating assembly throwing a rod through the block,is what it looks like to me.
My AP2 is coming down tomorrow... I'm hoping it should be fixed this weekend... and I'm only doing the engine... IT is totally brand new...

Holy hell! All that damage from an oil pump. Sorry to hear that SweetJ. What did the AP2 engine end up costing, if you don't mind me asking.
Damn, I have 96k miles on my 01 and it's driven hard at autocrosses and has about 450 track miles.
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to change my oil pump just to be on the safe side.
SweetJ, what did the oil pump look like, was it broken into several pices, did it just sieze or something else?
