So I have been thinking pretty hard about selling my 2.4 short block. It's very bad ass but I was thinking of making a diff. kind of beast. Anyways I decided to change oil and check a few things out. I noticed a gold sparkle to the oil wtf. so I pulled the pan and big time metal in my pan now nooooooo. So i started pulling rod caps and everything looks great, cylinder walls looking good from below as do pistons from what I could see. So I decided to pull the main girdle and yup there it was fuggin thrust bearing was looking pretty burnt as was my eagle forged crank. looks burnt and can feel with my nail. the rest were not as bad as the thrust, but had damage none the less. I never noticed anything wrong. We just dyno the damn thing and made plenty of power. So I will be pulling the short block and it will be decision time. rebuild? or new motor?
