The sump photo is nuts... When I dropped my oil pan it looked brand new after one cottons wipe the oil was gone and sump was clean!
No wonder people end up having engine problem when you see thing like these!!!

Wait what cracked head? You mentioned a heads was warped (post #55) but said the machine shop stated they weren't cracked.
Do you have photos of the head damage you can post? That would explain the intermix....

I'll have a video up soon. I found out the previous owner did a weird TT brake upgrade. He used stock c2 pads and hardware on TT calipers and GT3 rotors. The pads are barely hanging on the calipers. It very unsafe to drive so I ordered the correct pads and hardware.

Look on the caliper to make sure they are indeed TT caliper part number. What you are saying doesn't seem to make sense physically unless you also have custom bracket spacers on there. It could be some other kind of Brembo calipers possibly.

I have no idea how it was installed or what parts were used. I'll try to find out once Jason takes apart the brakes tomorrow.

I spoke to Jason today and The rotors are definitely GT3 but the caliper is unknown. I bought TT pads and and hardware and they bolted right on. As of right now I am unsure how the previous owner did the swap as they are definitely bigger than stock C2 front/rear brakes.

I know how he did it. Check the rear of the calipers and tell me if you see any markings. I'm currently in the process of doing the same poor man's gt3 brake mod myself.
