Good advice, Kewlynx. I especially appreciate the pizza and crockpot ideas, since that will be my payment for helping Bevoman! (or since his truck is Bevo, is that Butthead??)

(OK, pizza as payment, along with grief-giving along the way...)

Oh, and it's not thrown a rod, only rod knock... so especially good advice about the coolant system purge! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Very, very strange for this motor to have experienced such a failure. The cam failed, then after that was repaired the rod knock. Methinks Donny boy is gonna need to look at that oil pump veeeeeery closely.
