TookTheRedPill

Pulled the beast out the other day and went a block and turned around . Engine has a loud Squeak Scrape noise . I took the belts off , and ran it , still making the noise . I though it would be a lifter cam issue so I pulled the heads and I can't see any real damage to make that sound ... Now I am going to Pull the Pan and check in there ... I did drain the oil and as soon as I pulled the plug I hear some metal hit the drain pan ... What are your thoughts ?

What did the metal look like? Sounds like SOMETHING broke...

I think so , I am about to drop the Pan and check .
I couldn't find which piece was from this oil because the catch was filthy .

AWW come on man if you took the RED pill you know this crap isn't real, what are you worried about? Ever regret not taking the Blue pill?

G Atsma

He took BOTH! Called it purple. It was not pretty.

I found what looks like chips in the Oil pick up , Flakes and chips . couldn't find any damage on any of the lifters , pushrods are not bent ... Ill drop the mains one by one and check them today .

You might also check the timing set and oil pump. More teardown, I know, but better safe than VERY sorry!
