I've bought two 2001 cars with engines that failed in a very similar fashion. One I'm pretty sure had a root cause of a rod bolt, the other, there was just too much carnage to be sure, but I'm guessing it was an oiling issue to the rod bearing - which was pretty much melted.
In both cases, like yours, the IMS bearing looked great.

Yes indeed, that is why when you rebuilt your engine you pay a bit extra for the ARP bolts..

Looking forward for the engine rebuilt video from Brian :-)

PS: I meant to say the new engine..

That engine was screwed, However, it was a bit his own fault when he kept running the engine after the rod broke.

Nice video, Nice to see the engine come apart in pieces to understand a bit more about my engine and how it works and where things are located.

Thank you for the post
