It could just be the PCV valve itself too that blew out, they are like $5. Either way its all in the same line.

I did crank it briefly (after checking oil ) and it sounded like a miss but also didnt sound right to me .. im wondering if i could drive it to the shop or i need to tow it ..

here go to this site and look up all the codes that its reading. The only one you listed that i know off the top of my head would be P0300 which is random missfire. Anyways check it out and look them up...it tells you what causes them and how to fix them also

If your oil pressure is at where its suposed to be then its not main bearings.

No update as of yet it is in the shop... naa .. i didnt miss a shift .. be honest im sure it popped when i let off .. and every one said that was odd.. i was ok till i found out it may have lifted a ring land???... im still waiting on the results.. however if im lucky i may have found a replacement at a good price ... ill let you know what the tech said i did to it ..

ps on a other note .. a guy came in yesterday that i ran the day before .. he had an ss with long tubes , lid, and catback.. this was great he asked me how the car was ( he heard ) .. then he said "did you spray me other day when we ran?" my girl was there too.. she laughed and said no he dosent have spray ..yet ... it was priceless .. also still waiting on the vid .. a friend we both know called and asked him about the run .. he couldnt believe i was stock... and so far he said he hasnt seen the video i laughed
