Spun a couple of rod bearings, metal through the engine, lost cam lobes etc. Mains looked OK all things considered.


JMO here but you lost the cam lobes first.. metal
got into the bearings and the piston was just damaged
in the aftermath... a cam doesnt lose the lobes in a
moment it will take a bit of time.. again.. JMO

Been a few years since I've played cars and have never had an issue like this but now I've found all about how they've taken all the stuff we need out of oil. Expensive lesson. How does the oil path go in a Chrysler - Oil pump to lifters then camshaft to crank mains then rods? The rod bearings are way worse than the mains including the back of the bearings? Cam bearing were chopped out as well but they could have been there since 1972 ??
