I can confirm that's not 2,000* coating.
I'm really curious what the tune looks like...betting it's "lean and mean"
Kurt will probably throw half of the engine in the trash and start over.
Seems your “half” guesstimate might be on the low side...... LOL

Can you at least keep the valve covers or oil pan? You know it's bad when the valve covers have to go!

Crap, just thought about this... Depending on the PCV setup Mr. Secret Sauce used the valve covers might be on the souvenir list too.

Still hoping for the best for you in every way (especially health) GW.

The Secret Sauced V/C’s were a problem from the get go!! They were leaking from day one.....and I remember thinking — “I’ve NEVER EVER seen a LS motor with leaking V/C’s.... “

If I get them back I plan to take them way out in the desert and add some modifications to them with a 6.5 Creedmoor...... Then I’ll sign them and send one to you!

What ever Tim says goes on the dry sump, LOL, Kurt and him did more experimenting then probably anybody in the country. I am running factory 2 stage LS7 pump with A.R.E. pan, doesn't make enough vacuum to properly scavenge, so ended up using multiple vent tanks to cure my oil puke issues. Works great but took a while to dial in.

I wouldn't claim to be the authority on dry sumps. I know what works on the combinations we tested.
