I had a extreme cooling system failure not to long back. To keep it short, I'm curios as to what bearing failure would be the first affected. At this time my thoughts are leaning toward the rods?
When did this start and what oil filter are you running?It's not the gauge, I have owned this (and 4 others prior) since day one. It's a 2000 w/ 70k miles. Brand new oil change this weekend, always run Amsoil!
My statement about using thicker oil is to prevent any further damage while you sort it out. If you are pulling the pan, looking at and possibly plastigauge on the bearings will tell you a whole lot.Believe me I've considered it but, that's a bandaid! But it could buy me time till winter! I thought about a HV pump, but since I'm pulling the pan,
if I'm pulling the pan, I might as well replace all the bearings,
if I'm doing all that I might as well go thru the heads,
Get where I'm going with this !!!!!
