No sense even trying to trouble shoot this,
most especially from a distance.
We "know" it started, ran initially normally
to the extent the engine reached normal operating temp. (albeit with lower than
expected oil pressure for a newly rebuilt
street motor), "hiccuped"(?), and began
emitting "squealing" (bearings??) noises as the "rockers" got concurrently
"noisy".
This points toward sudden, complete oil starvation.
Methinks a malfunctioning oil pump but this is pure guesswork and in any case,
if so, what caused such a failure. Something
try "go through" that shouldn't be there???
In any case, we'll know more when the engine is pulled and gone through. I feel
so
sorry for our fellow lister....what a giant, depressing PITA. :(
