Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Listen to it carefully if it is a steady sound it could be a bearing or wrist pin....but if it is a slaping sound it could be a rod. If you have metal shavings I would bet it is a bearing. Hope this helps.

Man, the number of blown engines on here is depresssing. Especially since the vast majority aren't even caused by boost and detonation. I wonder how many people that loose their bottom ends are running an ASP underdrive pully (or similar)?.
