Guess i should chime in, We removed the valve covers's and checked all phasers and limiters, cams, timing chains and tensioners. All are in tact and look to be brand new as they should. We checked oil to see if for some reason oil is burn up, nope all looks good. So from there we took oil filter off and cut it open to check for bearing material, metal, ect. No bearing material but there is some metal in the filter. Does not look good, Not sure what could happen to make a motor lock up with no oil issues, no bearings issues and metal in the pan. Ill try to keep you guys posted as we move forward.......

here are some pics of cams in place, everthing up top looking good. Keep you guys posted as we contunie

At least those cams look sexy sitting there. That's a bright side.

Well there is still a little hope that there might not be anything wrong with the engine but won't know for a few days and not till they tear down to the oil pump gear.

Thanks Clint for chiming in and clearing up everything.

Regardless of what happened, I'm sorry to hear it. I was anxious to see what a full top-end built coyote could do on a stock short block.

There still that chance.
