I actually did the Oil cooler seals, that was the problem. I did the rod bearings as well as a precautionary measure. All is well, milkshake is gone. Thanks for asking!

Oh my god are the oil cooler seals ever a PITA! I just had my mechanic do it for me. Should I of had him to the bearing's as well??? I didn't drive it much....the seals went and I drove it for about a mile or two. Then I towed it to his shop. Tell me why exactly the rod bearings and the oil cooler seals are directly related??

btw nice photos

it's always nice to see pics, and a nifty location to boot -- might i suggest (w/o sounding arrogant) that you return there and get some shots around sunset (typically, photographers/cinematographers call the hour before the sun drops below the horizon 'magic hour' - for a good reason) and more close-ups, it's like seeing a centerfold model shot from across the street

oh and i loved the one w/ the < < signs :P

thanks guys, and Porshhh, I did the bearings on recomendation by rennlist. When you drive with the milkshake in your engine, the bearings aren't adequatly lubricated, which can tear em up, and will result in a thrown rob bearing and a nifty engine rebuild on hand. I did it as a 50 dollar precaution... If you only drove 1 or 2 miles, you should be ok. But I would recomend doing your bearings soon anyhow, especially on a modded car, just for peace of mind. how many miles do you have? By the way, when I pulled the bearings, they looked absolutly fine, even the #2.
