pull the oil pan & see what's in it. MIne made that noise one morning and it was just one of the oil squirters. I replaced that & it was fine.

Do a compression test(if you can). Pull the valve cover off and do a visual on the rotating parts up there. If you don't see anything, then it's time to pull the pan off. Could have been just about anything in there. Put a breaker bar/socket on the crankshaft bolt and rotate the engine over by hand(pull the spark plugs so it's easier). DO NOT start it. You already know it's sounds like shit in the condition it's in.

Yeah, definatly pull the oil pan. If something went in the lower end chances are when you pull the pan your gonna find out what it is.

When and if you're in their checking around, check the bottoms of the pistons too to make sure a piston skirt didn't bust off or something.

im guessing it went a little past 210 and something got a little too hot heh. Drop the pan and examine the oil. That should tell you alot.

I would expect the worst though, it doesn't sound too good.

I messed around with it a little tonight. Pulled the valve cover, everything looked fine there (as expected). Turned the engine over by hand, it gets real hard to turn when the timing mark is at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions but then moves smoothly once I get it past that point, and it didn't seem to make any noise or feel rough between. I didn't get the pan off, holy crap that is a lot of work. Am I going to have to drop my transfer case and down pipe? They both go under the pan and I don't see how you can get it off w/o getting them out of the way too.

Yep, both have to come off.

How about you just try and drain the oil first. Maybe you spun a bearing. If so, there may be metal shavings in the oil. You could also have someone check it out with a boroscope instead of removing the pan. Ofcourse the oil would have to be gone first. It will save you an assload of time if Mike gets out of the hospital or you can find someone vs pulling the pan.
