Pics of rod bearing failure.

Last week I stripped the engine I planned on rebuilding for my 3.2 MTX SHOble. It didnt go as well as I had hoped. #4 bearing failed bad and #3 failed but not nearly as bad. The engine had even compression across the board and ran strong for other than the knock when I first got it. When I tore it down this is what I found....

I dunno about that, my friend had one that DISSAPEARED.

Hardly man. Had one from a customer's car who tried to do 140mph in 4th with a spun bearing. Wasn't pretty, bearing was razor-thin & black, squeezed out around the rod cap. Have pics somewhere.

If you guys think this one is bad, wait till you see my sable. It had a knock 10x worse than the SHO. I gave it the redline treatment for a few minutes with no coolant left in the system then an Un-metered shot of nitrous (open line) right into the intake. All on video too.

Another reason for everyone who is on this board to get their rod bearings changed.

There are a few changes that need to be made, that are to note in my following posts..... However I personally do not recommend any thing else that I have no said.
