    I might be in trouble

    well im F@#$ed, changed pump didnt change oil pressure and had to drive home. on my way something let loose and now it sounds as if a pistion is slamming into the valves and it has zero oil pressure now and smokes so if anyone has a used running 454 for sale that would be greatly appericiated

    I might be in trouble

    Well I did an oil change and I had no metal shavings and the knock isn't all the time it's only at a certain rpm. So I do not believe it's a spun or worn crank bearing ( thank you very much for the explaination) any ideas of what it could be besides a crank bearing? Unless you think that's the...
