So what really happened to your motor? Several times, I have thought that my motor was toast. If you remember, my motor actually sounded like yours due to two separate issues- cam gear and timing plate.
Did you forget to run oil?

Detonation raises cylinder pressure to a point where the bearings can get hammered. Would like to know what oil pressure looked like. I don't recall seeing a true oil pressure gauge in any of LF's in cars, but I may be mistaken. Would also like to see what the pistons look like. I'm on my phone and can' t find details of the tune. I also remember mention of compressor surge, a week or two back. Was that ever resolved or did you just flat foot through it in true LG style??

Spun bearings on newly assembled motors is a more common phenomenon with the new reformulation of motor oils (removal of ZDDP). I added a bottle of supplement to the last new engine I built for this reason. Zinc and phosphorus form a barrier to protect the metal from contact when the oil film breaks down under extreme pressure. This is most critical at break-in or if you lose oil pressure.
Sorry about the run of bad luck. Are you still going to try to go to the MegaMeet?
