Its my own damn fault.

So, I'm rolling down the road, and I get the urge, You know the urge,I roll the Olds down to about 10 mph,(engine is warmed up) pull first and nail it.
Not the hardest ever, just 5,000, push the Zgate onto second, roll out of it.
I hear this tapping noise, around 2,300 easy load, but its there.
It still runs, But I'm thinking wrist pin or spun rod bearing.
It also cranks over slower than usual, which really sounds like a rod bearing.
Dammit, Darrin

If you can't play with it whenever you want, it's not worth owning.

Breaking stuff every now and then is just part of the balance. Godspeed to a fast recovery.

The reason we have project cars is to satisfy "the urge". Sure can't do it with my daily driver.
X2 on a speedy recovery so you can get your right foot therapy.
