have you disassembled anything? main or rod bearing journal? if it's the main, did the block/girdle get messed up?

Use two pieces of bologna as your bearing halves, she'll run mint.

JB Weld the Bearing top the rod, awat you go.

If you too lazy to pull your Oil pan and head, buy ALOT of JB Weld, mix it and pour it into you oil and start right away, the JB Weld will go straight to the areas it needs to be and fix all problems, Kinda like the way Advil and Tylenol works!!!

like a charm, I always pour some polishing compound in the oil too, just for that few extra years of life out of the engine.
