Spun Rod Bearing
The engine removal was simple. Just disconnect everything and pull the motor out.
While working my way to the problem, I found a pile of bearing material caught on the oil-pickup screen.
Copper shavings were present in the motor, however, they only made it out of the oil pan because I turned the motor over before taking the pan off.
The culprit... I spun the #5 bearing from all my hard track use without an oil cooler.
The connecting rod and crankshaft were destroyed!
I turned the motor over to remove the heads...
Here is a bare V6 SHO block ready for machining. For 88,000 miles and boost (+ HARD use), the cylinders look GREAT! Cross hashing is still present!
