Tony it was great meeting you as well. My dad and I enjoyed ourselves greatly. I don't think my engine let go as bad as yours, but the results might not be to different. I did find 2 broken valve springs and pulled the heads. I figured I may as well pull the motor to freshen it up some. I found the #3 rod bearing spun and feel lucky thats all it did. The crank has some cracks in it as well. So a low end rebuild is in order with a new crank and lots of misc parts that add up quick. I'm sure you know the routine. It will be dyno tuned as well, so maybe I'll knock off a half second next year. Hopefully we'll see you then.
