WTF? Have you ever take this motor apart before? Or was it the previous owner who did that?

Im thinking it was the previous owner. I havent taken the oil pan off before in this car. it was just chilling on the bottom of the pan. Its funny though because it scared the hell out of me when i was hearing it drag on the bottom of the pan i was thinking it was something much worse. LOL

There was some shavings on the bottom of the pan, ill make sure everything is cleaned up. and do an oil change.

On the crank, cyl 4 there was a very slight scoring on the crank. I dont think it justifies replacing or returning the crank. The other 3 looked just fine. On cylinder one the top part of the bearing was broke in half. YIKES. Good thing i didnt wait any longer. Surprizingly cyl 1 does not have any scoring whatsoever.

Anyone know the torque specs for the rod bolts? I couldnt find it in my manual.

Also i definatly suggest to everyone, if you ever have your oil pan off, replace the rod bearings. its very easy to do and could fix a disaster.
