That doesn't sound good! Unfourtunately I havn't found any mechanics I trus=

and can work around my crazy busy schedule, I would be happy to help you dr=

Most likely the #3 rod bearing.  On that engine about 50% of the time it 
is #3, 40%
#2.

I'll recommend Bailey's [ http://baileysautomotive.com ] probably the 
most experienced
LBC shop still around.

I would second the recommendation for Bailey's. he does all my work and seems to be reliable.
