The guys at the shop let me put it on an empty lift so I could get a look under the engine. ..so much oil.. It's going to suck to clean.
Anyways, got the skid plate off and I didn't have to pull the header. SO FAR, before the engine's been pulled, the winner is.....
*drumroll*

Nailed it.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess oil starvation. The course at the event was very right-turn heavy, including a banked turn. With no downforce or slicks I didn't think I'd have to worry about this, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Hopefully someone's figured out a solution to this, or I'm just not going to be able to run there again.
So, if I'm somewhat lucky, I just need a head and I'm back and running. When the engine comes out, I'll know for sure. But for now I don't think I'll be needing the replacement engines I've sourced.
