So, if i assume the worst - what is the most likely damage that would have occurred? In short, where do I start? Would the rings go first?, bearings? I'm a bit puzzled that the oil temp didn't shoot up along with the water and there wasn't anything I detected in the way the engine was running when I shut it off. I'm also wondering why the oil would blow out the breather?

The engine was just completely rebuilt by Keith Craft - 300 miles on it. So, don't want to un-do the "serious cash" I've already spent and make a mountain out of a mole hill while trying to figure this one out. Then again, I don't want to miss the problem and make things even worse.

Appreciate any good diagnostic tips to determine the root of the problem.
Thanks!
