I'm pretty sure it was an oiling issue though I don't know why. It had an oil change less than 2,000 miles ago, I run 15-50w mobil1.

My experience with spun bearings is usually lack of oil. I had no knock in the motor. They always say your car feels best right before it goes. I got a few good runs in last night before I heard the death rattle, at least I didn't loose my block, head or Turbo.

Trying to have it up and running it a couple weeks. Dropping off the block hopefully Monday and then however fast I can get a 2.4 crank, rods, pistons, bearings and gaskets. Probably should think about a new front case or at the very least a new oil pump while I'm at it.

Thanks everyone for the help today, it was much appreciated. Chris was there right away to help even though I didn't ask for any. Aaron also showed up and then went home and stopped back with some tools I will definitely make use of.

Oh, I also want to thank Andrew for the ride home after I parked the car early Saturday morning.
