Update from the morgue:
The engine is apart and it suffered a major failure. I'll post pics as soon as Kaley gets them uploaded to the file. The engine snapped the IMS drive chain tensioner paddle. Its hard to tell if the main chain is what shot through the case, or if it was a piece of the tensioner paddle. The block is toast and even the crankshaft, since all the chain slack heavily damaged the IMS drive. It also bent every valve, spun the drive on the IMS and etc. Its on the way to the scrapyard as soon as I finish the post mortem report.

Jake, sorry for the newbie-ish question, but stick my finger in the hole marked by the red arrow and then feel for any grittiness in the oil?

Hey, in 5 days it will be the one year anniversary from post #1 of this thread. Should we plan an anniversary party?

Family gathering in Cordova at my sister's house. Just thought I would throw out a little tribute to the King.
Heading to the Bass Pro Pyramid, then downtown and Beale Street later today.
Thought about seeing if any Memphis Rennlisters wanted to do an impromptu cars and coffee get together Friday morning somewhere while the rest of the world is trampling each other to death on Black Friday. That way I could show off my rental minivan. But, that seemed like work to organize, so, you know.

Actually, already had plans anyway.
I know you are from KC, but if you wanted to try the BBQ, the Blues City Cafe( think that's the name of it right on corner of Beale) does have good BBQ. The other "popular" places to me aren't that good, but that one is.
The're some other's you should try as well, if you want some suggestions.
