Is My Car F'd?
So I finally got my car working and drove it around a bit. as I was coming home My car was making a loud clunking noise. So by orders of SleepyDSM I pulled the oil pan. When I drained the oil I notices Problem 1, The oil looked mitallic silver(a nice color for a car I might add). So I went on pulling the pan. When The pan was out I fished through the bottom of the pan and found some pretty big metal shavings. Then I went through the oil with my hands and came up with some more. There is a pic of the metal that came out(No the dime did not come out I thought that might help with sizing). Now this metal is REALLY light weight and is NOT magnetic if that helps at all. I visually inspecected the shortblock and most everythign looks good. I did notice on the front(of car) BS bearing may be gone. The BS are gone But it seems like the bearing I put in there may be gone. I really cant tell. Can anyone help me out here. Could this TOTALLY Fuck my car up? What should I do? Thanks for the help guys!
Mike
