Seems to be that my oil pressure was too high (oil pressure gauge doesnt work) and blew out a chunk of either my engine or oil pan...?

Well, high oil pressure won't affect your oil pan....

Throw a rod?

oil pan has 0 pressure in it, all the time.  I'd be interested in knowing what happened as well.

not quiet sure that the hell it is that happened but the dipstick guiding tube thing is completely loose with a chunk of engine on it.

I'll probably just take it to Gustard so he can work his magic. I ship out soon anyway..

Blew out a chunk of the block where the dipstick goes into the block, looked brutal in the pic I got. Susrpised it did thos since motors rebuolt and clearances were all within spec. New bearings and all. So.weird. Probably be putting in a junkyard motor in it. Ill make sure she ets back on.the road
