I just pray I can salvage the crank and get by with some new bearings. That's best case scenario. Worst case is I will be hitting up someone with an extra S65 short block (as the heads on mine are built.)
I am deep diving into the oil pump system in the S65 and am learning some opportunities to help overdrive the pumps for track use. More info to come on this once I get deeper into this rabbit hole.

the one thing i regret not doing, but not that it matters anymore since i'm not on track as much these days. is getting an oil pan baffle.
if its one thing i learned from my S2K days is that side g forces on the F20C was causing oil starvation, so i added a baffle in the oil pan to keep the pick up full of oil.
I wish i did the same on the M3 at the time. Vac and i know bimmerworld offers a weld in solution? iirc. and the M3 can pull some high side G's...
