Thanks for the replies everyone.. got busy over the March Break week being off with the kids, friends visiting, etc..
I did change the oil a week or so ago on the weekend. Absolutely nothing of note in the oil that came out. Has a few thousand kilometers on it, so it was a bit darkened, but otherwise looked fine - no pink/whatever goop/sludge/etc.. no weird film or discolouration.. no dirt/particulate/chips/chunks/etc.. either. I'll get the sample sent off just to confirm, but at a macroscopic level the oil doesn't give me reason to worry. Also, I have a particularly terrible memory for "be gentle until you know what the problem is". A number of times in the past couple of weeks I've caught myself honking on it on the drive to/from work - usually coming home, because leaving work is so much more enjoyable than going to work.. lol If it's a bad rod rattling around in there I don't imagine it's going to handle 5000 rpm too many more times before it explodes and makes a peephole in the block.

Again, appreciate the discussion thanks everyone. Have a few things to poke at as soon as I get a chance, so either it's going to implode in the meantime, it's something else - which may be fine - or I'll find something when I get under the car next. -- Adam |
