I apologize. I didn?t mean for this thread to die. Got around to pulling the motor. Definitely shredded what looks like a bearing, but have opened the block up yet. It?s sitting in the oil pickup. Also this piece (looks like a cover somewhere) fell off of the bottom of the flywheel when I removed the pressure plate/clutch assembly. Not sure if there was a previous clutch job and it was dropped in or if it?s a normal piece but I?ve never seen it before on other engine builds I?ve done.
