Yes, but I don't see this as being a result of that. Harmonics might be blamed for a spun bearing. But oil loss like this has to be something else.

You need to figure out what went wrong before you narrow down your options. To think about what to do at this stage is not only premature, it's the absolute wrong way to go about solving your engine issue.

I'm not narrowing down anything; I'm looking for
options, not answers. I'm casting a very wide net so I know what needs to be done when I get the final news. In addition to internals pricing here, I've priced out entire engines, considered swaps, and even going to another car. Knowing more about the options available will help me make a better decision when the time comes. Sitting on my hands while I wait for the engine to be pulled apart isn't going to help anyhing.

Plenty of people on this site are running 300+WHP every day on their stock bottom ends, and that Sprintex kit only makes 270HP max according to Sprintex which is a very safe # for that engine.
I asked before, but do you have an air/fuel gauge?
Also did either of you have an oil cooler?

I monitor my AFRs with Torque, and I've had Delicious review a couple ECUTek logs and they were happy with them.
For cooling I have the Robispec radiator/oil cooler.
