Hey all,
I recently dropped my oil pan to replace my RMS and oil pan gasket.
I found shavings that I can see have come from my main Bearings, 3 & 4 have visible metal coming out. Other than mains engine "loooks" ok.
I'm trying to find what my best course of action is because this guys thread has got me confused? Is this friggin Normal??? This is a joke right....thats about what I found.

Otherwise my expectation on a 222,000 99 auto motor was it be needing to be replaced with a new engine.
Is there anything else I should bother quickly checking?
If I bolt the pan back up ,the jeep will run, it ran fine before i found this mess, but I dont want to pull a cap and put it back just to have it cause more damage. Hell I don't even know what would happen if something went while driving.
Any engine/labor cost estimates would be appreciated so I have a guess of what I'm getting into once my head stops spinning.
Thank you
