If it ends up being oil starvation it could have been caused by this. OIl jet bolts I had mine changed to the newer kind just as a precaution. May be a possible cause to look into. 
Hopefully it's something else hat's easily fixed and not something major though.

I definitely know that I will either be upgrading those either way. Whether I use my block or if I get a donor engine, they will surely be switched out.I'd think if something like that were to happen, it would probably happen on the dragon. I generally kept mine in second and just ran the whole thing, so it was pretty much between 6k and 9k the entire time. Except on some of the really tight turns it'd dip down. So, it still ran it just made a horrendous noise? And now it does nothing?

When I push the start button it pops and all the lights go dim, so it's definitely engaging, and like I said, it's definitely locked up. I double checked and it wasn't in gear when I tried rotating the crank, so yes it is mechanically locked in both directions.
Oil looks, feels, smells perfectly normal. Honestly it makes not one bit of sense at all. The banjo bolts were only an issue for mid 2002 and prior. After mid 2002 they fixed/upgraded them all. I was in second almost the whole time, averaging around 6-7K RPM, don't ever remember going above 8500 at all.

URGENT! I talked to Dave at US129 photos and if we want, we can get every single S2000 picture from the dragon from Saturday AND Sunday for 120$. That's about 4-500 pictures. This will allow those of you who did not opt to buy in to get yours and if we divided it up evenly among us S2000 owners. It would end up being only 17$ for each of us. PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!
