symptoms of spinning a rod bearing??
i am unsure whats going on.
just installed heads/cam in my car. revs are set at 6500.
changed oil after 1000 miles just cause i was unsure on a new cam/heads.
found metal shavings on the plug...not much but a little to be worried about.
Car idles fine, hesitates a little but i think this is due to the larger stall i have in it, plus my tuner said it will have a little surging. Couple times on a cold start it will drop to 500 rpms then go back to 900 rpms.
around 45 mph the car will hesitate like its dying, it sounds like its knocking but i am unsure..if i hit the pedal it will go away...could i just be going crazy???

It'll sound like a 4 cell maglite flash light, with no batteries, and the caps loosened.
If it's a rod bearing, the noise gets louder and faster with the RPMs, and does not go away, EVER. You can run a thicker oil, but it does nothing to "fix" the problem, it'll just make it sound more quiet. It will be at its worse at cold startups.
