I'm a little confused... I got the head off, cams and lobes look good. Cylinder walls look good. No scoring, totally smooth. Turned it upside down now and looking at removing cylinders now. Stopped here. Get a pic up soon on it. Just, have not found what the culprit is yet. It had a loud rattle sound when we shut it off. Car was not running well at all. Stalled and sputtered. Told my son to turn it off. And then started breaking it down. Just before, about a couple of months, had a mechanic replace the timing chain. Plastic guides broke on the lower timing chain and fell into the oil pan. I found some of these pieces in the oil pan, but nothing metal. I will disassemble the bottom end and inspect that next, but I thought for sure I would have found the problem by now. But, maybe it will be in that bottom end somewhere. With this in mind, does anyone know what I might be looking for at this point in the bottom end? I know from different videos to inspect the journals and the rod and whatnot, but could it be a bearing? Hmmm, maybe? I will keep y'all posted. Confused right now... But, maybe it's in the bottom end somewhere. Thanks all.
