Re: This doesn't look good...
I hope you are going to pull that motor down all the way...i'll bet there is metal in the pump and all the oiling galleys throughout the block....
Years back i had just converted the chalet to FI and had cruised down to the gas station to fill her up for the first time. After i departed the station i hit the freeway to run the 10 miles between the 3 exits for this town....lol. Anyways while carefully monitoring my snap-on scanner by the time we had hit mile 5 we had issue's...the temp was up to 238...and i had to pull over and shut her down to cool the 400 down and limp home. Final report revealed that number 5 rod journal on the crank went south....in a bad way...not your average a few thousands out casuing a knock...it was more like a gap the size of a bearing babit itself. Only thing i could figure was while living in az for 12 years that poor 400 got hot once or twice...
It never fails...when you least expect it....
