Before you disconect everything and yank the engine, take aminute to look at the plumbing for the remote oil filter & cooler. As Clois posted previously, if oil is being heavily restricted this would cause this type of damage would result. Specifically, be certain that the hose carrying oil "OUT" of the engine is going "IN" to the filter, then "OUT" of the filter to the cooler and then back to the engine. If you have an oil cooler it should be replaced and not reused. There is no way to clean it successfully. Be sure to flush all hoses before reuse. Fill the filter, cooler and if possible the lines with oil before firing next time. Good luck

Let us all know what you find. What a way to spoil an anticipated event!!!
