Garth, out of curiosity, when you were WOT in 2nd gear, what rpm were you at when you spun the bearing?

Hi Joe,

I'm not sure. I was stuck behind an idiot in a minivan slowly cruising up a twisty mountain road who refused to take any of the turnouts! Finally came to a right-hand hairpin turn that had a turnout lane on the inside, so I took the inside line through the turnout. Coming out of it as I was about to go for 3rd gear, the engine suddenly sounded like someone was violently shaking a tin can with ball bearings in it. I immediately let off the throttle and the noise settled down, but the damage was done. The oil all went to the left side of the pan and climbed the wall of the pan and left the pickup dry. I don't think I revved it over 5,500 RPM, but I wasn't watching the tach.
