Its weird because the PO had a totally new short block put in 100k ago. I wouldnt think it would go so fast.


Ok from reading old posts it looks like a rod bearing ...the post said that there might not be engine damage. If i find metal shards im screwed but if not then ill have to do the rod beaings(already have a set and oil pan gasket...im glad i have these on hand) and inspect the crank for damage. If i do have metal shards then the engine has the come out and be totally cleaned. Im hoping for the best ..im going to drain the oil now.
