Right track... wrong moving part... The piston pins were polylocks (I think that was the name)

no surprise there, I don't think anything will fit under a set of 98 perimeter bolt covers. Those things are flat!

That goes along with my belief that broken parts are the perfect excuse for upgrade.

I already sold them though.

No idea since I only drive the car maybe once a week and the motor only has like ~3000 miles tops. I hardly ever run it hard it either since I never drive it.
