Well, that's great news! I have had that failure before too, on a 5.7 Chevy. Literally scared the crap out of me. It had a crack right at the top in the bakelite. It had near zero oil pressure. When you revved it up it would come up to like 5psi. But I never heard a knock. Zero oil pressure+knock =new motor

Back to the truck now
