Do you have any deep sump or tuna can? Do you maintain the oil level 1/2qt above the full line?
You were lucky. If the bearing material started sticking to the crank it would have seized quickly. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) looks like an oil control/starvation issue. Why I like a pro light or some sort of bright idiot light. |
