not sure where to put this, its tech but not JEEP tech so it can't go in the jeep tech section so here it is ;D finally tore the buggy down to find the knock in the motor that started after some high rpms on the rock wall covered in snow a few weeks ago. and well i couldn't find anything that seemed like it could cause a knock that loud. so rue stoped in and had a look, and we took the rod bearings out and found #4 was gone. crank still seems to be good so i decided to order new rod bearings and try to get another season out of this motor. heres some pics of the bearing ;D

The crank not that bad....Mike has a golden horse shoe up his ass ,so he'll be able to slide a new bearing there and get another 1 000 000 miles out it..LOL

I guess it was bound to happen. Due to the oil not being changed sine I put that motor in the week before the crawl mag run a few years ago. ;D it was pretty black and thin.
