Damage Report:
#2 cylinder rod bearing is toast. It wore itself down to about 1/2 thickness of a good bearing and the rod was loose on the journal. Fortunately, the journal looks OK. I only drove the car a short distance when the noise started, so the damage should be minimal. I guess all the bottom end bearings are suspect, so they will all get replaced as a minimum.
Got a new Kevco 9qt pan on order
