....snip....

you would be correct. Conventionally links are in fact blue and underlined.

Dynomite · 09-07-2013

My ZR-1s are not conventional either

Nor are they kludged

Now back to the Oil Contamination. I guess there is NO contamination after all (and by extension....no adverse engine wear)?

If So.......great....and it is good that got attention in any event with all those bolts missing in the Oil Pan

What? No one noticed those were actually links?
Here is one "in a somewhat different and irritating color".

The particles left after cutting the filter opened looked like
pieces of paper from the filter.

Since you have the oil pan removed.
1. Remove the baffle.
2. Remove the oil pick up.
3. Check bottom of oil pan for those contaminants you think you might have.
4. Clean oil pan.
5. Reinstall oil pick up and baffle using RED Loctite 262.

I removed the baffle and the pick up tube. Cleaned everything up real good. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the pan. Just a lot of dirt, no chunks of metal. I inspected the bottom of the engine and everything looked ok. I didn't see any bluing or signs that there may be damage from friction due to low oil. Ordered my parts Saturday from Jerry and now I'm waiting for those to arrive so I can get her back together. It only took two days to get the pan out so I'm sure it'll take me four days to put back in lol.

Dynomite · 09-09-2013

Lol. Good for you. Sounds like you got the destroyed engine un-destroyed. Lol

90ZR1#1221 · 09-09-2013

And I'll have my oil leak fixed and the underside of the car all cleaned up. It was huge relief to see everything looked ok. And now I can get back to the crankcase pressure issue and put on a new PCV valve and hopefully that'll take care of that. So on that note I'm in search of an original bose head unit for the car and an original set of wheels for the car too. If anyone knows where I might be able to find those.

does your car have an aftermarket unit or does the stock one not work? if it's not working send it to dr. dons http://www.doctordons.com/ or see if marc haibeck does them. not sure if marc does or not.

90ZR1#1221 · 09-09-2013

It has an aftermarket unit in it. I contacted the guy who installed the aftermarket unit and pulled the original out. He said it's in his barn somewhere which is a 40x100 pole barn full of stuff soooo finding it might be difficult.
