So last weekend, at the Autocross my 2.4L six started making a distressing noise. It came home on a trailer, and I spend some days trying to troubleshoot it.

Intermittent pinging type noise, not consistent. Compression check was good across the board at 125, good oil pressure, and nothing else wrong I could find. Had a friend listen to it, and he thinks it is coming from the #5 cylinder.

Today I drained the oil and pulled the LH lower valve cover. Nothing is out of place and everything still looks good.



So I pulled the the screen off the bottom of the engine...

Oh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) !!!

Large bits of bearing material! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

This really pisses me off because I just did the top end on this motor.

So my six is down and Betty's 4 is running very poorly, because it has a worn out 2.0 in it. I pulled her 1.8 down to rebuild it. I have all the parts, just need to clean, clean, clean......
