Second Blueprint 408 issues

Final update for this thread. Oil pan removed oil filter opened up. Some sort of goo was restricting oil flow in the oil filter. Opened up a new filter and it had the same goo in it. I mistakenly used a fram high mileage filter vs an extra guard filter. I have both in my garage and did not realize I grabbed the wrong one. The high mileage has some time release additives . However in the filter I used all the time release additives released at the same time causing a restriction in the oil filter blocking oil from entering the block. I have already contacted fram to see if they will cover it or not. I took off the front two rod bearing caps and both bearings were scarred deeply. the crank had very light scaring so the crank can be saved.

This is good to know. Didn't realize the Fram High mileage filter had gunk in it from the start... strange. Not the first casualty of a bad fram filter :(
