Well, the other day when I took my truck to a parade and car show, It sure sounds like I burnt out a rod bearing. It has a loud knock. Jerry says I likely had a misaligned spray nozzle that prevented oil from reaching the dipper on the rod cap. I didn't mess with the nozzles, but the previous owner had the pan off and may have tweaked one or more. Looking for a shop that can deal with the likely scored crankshaft. I'll know more when I pull the engine and tear it down.
But the truck still looks pretty. grin

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
