yeah 13bre use the pinned windowed stat gera and bearing of the 13brew engines.they use a s5 oil reg though.all other parts are mostly s6 inc rotors,rear stat gear,bearings etc.



ur in some trouble there mate,u have seized the front bearing to the shaft,no fun at all.



what sort of clearance did u have?

For the record, thats exactly what happened to my engine when the oil thermopellet stuck open. It was bleeding off pressure that should have gone to the front main bearing.

Thanks for the input all, I appricate it very much..However I'm calling it good, I am not dumping anymore cash into this project I am parting out the car..all parts have no miles on them only the start up time so basically new stuff for FC. Will be putting a post up in for sale section.
