Took my engine out and took it apart and this is my findings...
-Bearings:
Looked at the bearings and they seemed to have shrunk(main and rods). When I put the bearings in they fit snug(had to press them pretty good). Now they slip out and there is a gap between the bearings and the caps.
-Oil Pump:
The oil pump was hard to move when I took it out but after moving it a bit it spun freely. The gears in the oil pump looked good.
-Oil:
There was metal pieces in the oil pan. Oil filter was clean with no metal pieces. Oil in turbo and head were both free of metal pieces as well.
-Crank:
Bearing surfaces look good. The oil hole on for the rod bearing was filled with metal. I had to pound it out for with a screwdriver(carefully).
Does anyone know what could be wrong? For further info go here http://dsmstyle.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9182. I took pics but my camera is being stupid, so Ill get them later.
Thanks,
Mike
