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?

 

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!

 

So, any update on this? Just curious, because I'm having a similar issue. thanks.

 

According to his screen name, he took the red pill, we may never see him again, lost in the Matrix... or
