I'm going to be able to put the 292 until probably spring, but I still need O'l Yeller on the road, so I am fixing this catastrophically worn out engine again.

It's two main issues were the fact that it leaks oil like a mother, and that it has a slight knock when warmed up.

Before I even put it in, I knew that the rear most rod bearing was very slightly loose, but I just said screw it. After pulling the pan, it didn't feel much looser, but definitely loose enough.

After pulling the cap, I was very amused with how consistently worn the bearing actually was.

There is no bearing surface left, it's just the copper backing (it's amazing how everything ing in the engine is so consistently worn out).

Oh yea, another thing I did to my truck was lay down a new rubber floor (though seeing the roadsign was awesome, the interior looks so much cleaner)
