poor caddi.. well was driving to work in the caddi the other day, and all of a sudden sputter sputter die.....so got it towed home, and took the MDX to work, hoping it was just the fuel pump or filter, checked the fuel pump, and it was fine, the filter was extremely dirty, so that was swapped, and attempted to start it.....and low and behold rod knock.....I seriously dont understand my luck....I was putting down the road at 45 mph in 6th gear, so like 1200 RPM's, and something like this happens....now I gotta figure out what I am going to do about this as far as fixing/replacing it

Yes, the same motor, once I fixed the issue with the burning oil, it hasn't burned oil since, and I have had pretty much no problems what so ever before this happened, but i haven't pulled the motor and tore it apart yet, I plan to do that and see the extent of the damage before I make any final decisions. I'm pretty sure the block itself is fine, just the internals, that will need to be replaced, but will def check it over thoroughly before buying anything.

the heads were stock, I had new spring and retainers and pushrods in the head. If it turns out that the block is fine, I may just spend this time, to put some new heads on there, and get me a big boy cam, since the one I have in there is such a little guy.

Here are some pics of the carnage that we discovered.....Looks like I will be replacing one piston, and the heads. I'm also going to have the bearings in the block checked, and replace those while were in there.
