Well a few days ago I started to hear ticking coming from my motor. Sounded like a lifter tick but gradually got worse. Pulled the valve cover and ran and the noise was not louder with the valve cover off and I knew there was a serious problem. Drained my oil and found gold shavings!
Now I pulled my oil pan and found the bushing from number one hanging out of the connecting rod. Now im like WTF! with only 7500 on this motor.
After I found that out, I removed the head to find the wrist pin actually snapped in half and was chewing up the bushing on the connecting rod. Then looking back at this thread, realised this is the same wrist pin that was too tight!
What im doing now is still in the air, this should not have happened.
