To me sounds like it was just knocking from low oil..
Spun bearing is nastyyy nasttyyyy nasttyyy...

Whens the last time you changed / checked it?

If its been a LONG while then thats the answer..


Keep an eye on the oil level after you change the oil / filter, make sure you check it every week, or 300 miles.

Use any filter but fram.. lol

Fram = garbage . IMHO

Change your oil @ 2,500 for the next change, and see how much comes out / color, etc.

Same amount or a little less = OK
1-2 quart less = Big Problem


If your driving like Speedracer, id quit.. before something big happens... Like siezed engine, broken tranny, etc.

Just my 2 cents.
