my concerns are compression, timing, and electronic.
I'm going to change out the oil today to check for metal.
I cleaned the cam angle and crank sensor. Going to check the wiring that i extended for the cam angle sensor is good.
check wiring harness from left to side again.
reflash ecu back to stock
and try again

changed the oil.
Cut open the oil filter and there is copper color containment in the filter.
maybe i blew the rod bearing.
lead? bits of the motor? there is no big crunk just like a copper dust.
try to relocate some the the ground wire.
flash ecu back to stock setting.
still no good
i can't get the motor to fire.
looks like i'm at the end of the line of all that i can do.
sigh....

06/19 Update - I will no longer be able to attend the July speed trial due to the motor issue. (franco i already sent email to tommy to hold my credit for next time)
I'll be visiting garage tuning tomorrow to talk about the motor rebuild.
More information will be updated as plans are finalized.
Thanks again for everyone's help in the past weeks. (thank you franco for all your help)
