You should drop the pan to investigate, or at least drain your oil and look for fragments of bearings and such.

Did you drain your oil after the rebuild?

You more han likely smoked the engine but the whining may be your fried turbo. Future reference......... No oil pressure = shut the car off NOW!!!!!!!!!! Not 12 blocks or 5 min from now. I hope you didnt fry your new engine but sadly Im pretty sure you screwed the pooch.

1. search the website for stuff about loosing oil pressure.
2. If your gonna do a balance shaft elim kit your gonna need to take out your whole engine. but you can get one at STM.com or DSMparts.com

so i took of exhaust dropped the highly sealed oil pan, and i cant beliave what i found..

the balance shaft elimination kit the small stub that comes in the kit in my oil pan kind of bruised of little chips on the side and the middle.. there was no silver in the pan and no flakes just that one piece.......

how the heck could this ever get loose??its threaded into the gear inside the oil pump..

i got that installed when i got my block bored......... 2,000 miles later this happened..

I'm very stressed out due to the reason all my money i will have this year went to the rebuild...

what do you guys think and suggest about this whole situation .. thanks for all replies. lukas

no oil pressure shut it down, hopefully your engine isn't toasted id get in touch with the shop that did the work on your car and talk to them.

yes deffffff jd i called em and they tried giving bs saying that the machine shop put it in and they are responsible we have to call ... bring the car........

and i got charged 250 for the kit when it only costs 40 max so im stressed

Gotta put Red Loctite on that stubby shaft nut and torque the shyte out of it. It did just fall out right. It didn't break due to lack of lubrication right? Just fell out? Maybe it got knocked around a bit by the crankshaft counterweights after it fell out.
