It looks like you may have had a stuck oil ring,(oil above and below the wiper) but the larger problem I saw was the rod bearing being totally trashed. With that much copper showing through, it kind of forces you to look at the rest of the main and rod bearings, as well as the condition of the crank. On another topic, do not run straight antifreeze. Antifreeze has very poor heat conductivity properties, and should only be used in the 50% mix method. It lubricates the pump bearings, and keeps things from corroding, but is absolutely horrid at releasing the heat it removes, and pulling the heat from the engine. If it was that great, you would have the manufacturers like Prestone urging you to run it straight. They would make twice as much money then...Be cool...Mike <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" />
