Not sure. I am gonna start tearing it apart today. I really dont know what
happened. I posted two days ago about my oil pressure problem, but also noted
that the pressure was in spec according to Mopar information. I think maybe
the head gasket started to go, mixed with the oil, then trashed the bearings.
Right now the motor wont even turn over. So its either sezed or hydrauliced.
If hydrauliced, it may have bent a rod or two and maybe some valves. I will
keep you all posted as to damage. The weird thing is, I pulled the dipstick
out to look at the water/oil mix, but the dipstick would only come half way
out!!!!!! It is stuck!!! I think a rod broke and took out the end of the
dipstick!!! All I can do is laugh. I mean, I just spent all my money for
Christmas, I dont have a second car, and I know this isnt gonna be cheap.
But, things could of been worse.
