Take the oil pan off and take a ball peen hammer and tap the rod caps if you here a hollow sound or one that sounds completely differant than the others thats your bearing. If you take the caps off you'll know it will be chewed to ****. Also the bottom of the rod and cap will be darker or black because of excessive heat.
ok heres what previously was happening, i went out and ran the car n/a it pulled up into the 6400rpm range easily, then i went and ran the car on the bottle it ran like crap it struggled up to about 4800 rpm and then just seemd to lose all torque, so i stoped and checked all the fluids, everything was fine, so i ran the ran n/a again, it ran great, so i tried the bottle again and it struggled again, so i drove home parked the car, next morning i got up to move the car and as soon as i started it it started making a loud banging/knocking sound so i turned the motor off and checked the basics and couldnt find a problem so then i went ahead and pulled the motor out and found nothing to be wrong in the block that i can tell, no metal shavings in the pan or anything, so my thoughts were the converter is broken??? could that be a possibility i mean there isnt much to see on a converter, also the lifters look ok, the olny things that looked strange to me was on the drivers head 3 plug ends were gone and one intake vale was strangely clean and didnt look like the rest?? anyone have any ideas
