Damn and I thought starting one of these cars with a rag in the engine was bad lol!

What did the oil pickup tube and oil filter look like ?

The screen was clean. I don't really care about the oil filter. It has to come apart to get fixed

heads never off the bottom sure was!

It was likely taken apart after the botched timing chain rtv incident which likely caused a rod knock. So they changed bearings trying to fix it not realizing that the rtv in the crank was the problem

Absolutely. I've got pics somewhere of the abrasive disk remnants in a pan also as well as the bearing inserts. It may be a while before finding those pics though

I wonder how many tubes of rtv got pumped in? I use it once in a while but sparingly. The 85 I brought home is built out of orange rtv. Even the trans pan. Amazing it runs.
