Where is a Moderator when you need one?
I lost a motor at 85k. #6 con rod bearing spun, most likely due to lack of oil there. Same symptoms everyone else reports. Knocking under light load, turning louder, then it died. Ran regular dino oil. Died after a long steady drive- NY to CO straight. Worked OK for the next two weeks, but was makin' the "noise". Replaced out of my own pocket w/a 96' motor.
Hope this helps...
