Of note was the nice fancy oil pump cover that Performance milled (aluminum) was gouged on the inside due to misfitting of the oil pump gears that were also mismatched. Not sure that helps. I would highly recommend getting an IRAN done on the engine. It is expensive, but in the end there is no way to be sure your engine was a "good" Performance Engine or a "bad" one like mine and several others. Dan Ballin LEG2 IO-550 N386DM
