Mechanic didn't burn up much time diagnosing, just sounded like something in the head at first and then quickly become obvious it was lower end. I saw the rod the other day, here's where its REALLY weird. As anyone who has experience with engine internals can attest, typically a spun bearing makes the component attached to it overheat rapidly and resemble burned toast. The rod and the crank are super clean, shiny, non discolored metal. I don't know about you, but I've never seen something like this before.

Anyway, found an engine shop that will look at the motor once its out of the car, and yes, its been confirmed theres no way to do anything with these with the block still in the car.

So, we shall see what they say once they tear it down....
