My week:
-One week ago i ran my buddies Magnum R/T.
-That sunday the SHO started ticking.
-This weekend took the valve covers off to check the tensioners...nada.
-Now its knocking....poor #3 cylinder.
-Ordered Rod bearings.

Who would have thought that after 169k miles of hard driving that they would go.:cry:

Meeehh.. im pretty sure my car is either eating up a wristpin or a bearing or both (at this point). Less then 15k on the bearings. :woohoo: Just in time to drain what very little blood is left in my body!! :thankyou: SHO!!

Well, I tossed in the bearings. So far so good. Just dont like the chatter when its fist started in the morning..like it has no oil pressure for the fisrt 3 seconds.
But I did find a gen III parts car for $500.00. Yay

Did you unplug the DIS and crank the motor for 15 seconds? That is usually done to build the pressure before actually starting.
