Might be a bit nerve wracking bringing her back out there again after all of that. Gotta enjoy it though! That's why you have it

You're exactly right. I want to taker her to the mountains/track, but the thought of all the oil sloshing to one side of the pan keeps playing over and over in my mind! I'll suck it up eventually

At least going with a bunch of people is better than being alone

any info on what actually caused it?

Well we aren't 100% sure but the most probable answer is that the added G's of my Dunlop Star Specs & suspension/camber mods +Long Sweepers +Bad Luck caused it to spin a bearing. That's what my engine builder said, and it did start making noises after a section full of sweepers.

Makes me think I should get a crank scraper and baffle for the e30, since it is a known problem.
sorry for typos, from phone

The #1 bearing failed. There wasn't any damage to the head since I stopped driving so early. My car now has a 12.5:1 K24 bottom end now though
I also can't wait to actually hit the dragon with a bunch of not Mazdaspeed guys! I'm glad I'm finally one of the cool kids
