well we found the probl;em! it was a bearing on #5 piston! the crank also hit a piece of the oil pan. it looked like there was never any mntce done on the engine! i can tell you as the original owner that i was VERRY DILLIGENT on mntce. i DID however use ROYAL PURPLE SYNTHETIC! i have been doing some reaserch on it and have found some negative reviews. i have 15k on the motor and it looked like an 80k motor inside. some pics...
heads were PERFECT!
