[QUOTE="Hornet Pilot, post: 1061221, member: 1440"] [SIZE=14px]The more I look at those bearing pics and the 'white milk slurry' in the sump and oil pump, the more convinced I am that MADDAD has the right theme with what went wrong with this engine. Depending upon what the rod bearing clearance measurements turn out to be, I think it is very possible that if the source of the water in the oil was found and repaired and the engine cleaned of the water logged oil and fresh oil added, this enging might run for another 100K. I think the noise that was heard were the rod bearings being tortured due to the watered down oil slurry in the sump. That score mark on the #3 rod bearing doesn't look catastrophic to me just from the photos. Might be wrong but I'm a sceptic!![/SIZE] that is a 'skeptic'! [/QUOTE]
