I’ll play too. I don’t have the failure pics on the net, but my '95 SHO spun the #5 rod and killed the motor (thanks, PO :mad:) These were from the replacement engine that I fixed up. RJ-92 and LXTASY should remember that motor. ![http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/401280/fullsize/used-rb-l-bottom-r-top.jpg](http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/401280/fullsize/used-rb-l-bottom-r-top.jpg) The engine had @ 120K on it, and the wear signs are obvious. The failed bearing was damn near circular, and looked like taffy. :lol: Nothing like “panning for gold,” when you drop the oil pan and strain through pantyhose to discover nice metal flakes - oily copper :bloated: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/metal-failure/36050)._
