Pulled the engine today, pulled the oil pan and found this:
Look by the plug and the opposite side, there are slivers of copper something. There was also some copper slivers stuck in the oil pickup tube screen. I pulled all of the rod bearings off and they all looked fine. Tomorrow the crank comes off.

All 4 main bearings are gone. Rod bearing look fine but I'll replace them anyways. I have a Mallard normal oil pump, going to get the bigger one this time.
Should I pull the cam too to check the bearings?

Cam should be fine. But no reason not to check it.

I'm gonna pull it out one of these days before I put it back together.

Oh, the oil pump they use is a Melling Select? I guess it's normal flow, high pressure. So I'll be looking into that.

Dropped the crank off today. He wasn't sure if they can fix it or not, hopefully they can. I'll be getting aluminum bearings this time, he said they are stronger and cheaper at the same time. Works for me!

Honestly, I thought I had bad luck with cars. I can't believe how much crap keeps landing on your plate between stuff breaking and cars crashing and you just keep shoveling through it. Good luck with everything

At least with things breaking, I understand why. I don't drive like a pussy, I beat the shit out of my vehicles. I hate it when it happens, but I honestly can't complain about it. It's all about that 1 day that it runs great and makes you forget about all the bs you had to deal with to get to that point.
I'm seriously thinking about putting the motor back together and just leaving it on the engine stand! Shit won't break that way. Knowing my luck, my engine stand will.

That's how I feel. Drive it till it breaks. That way you know what's weak and you can make it better. I love the first drive after you fix the car. It makes me fall in love all over again with the car.
