Thanks for changing the title for me. I was going to call it but it started happening again today but it dont start doing it unless i put it in reverse. If it was a bearing wouldnt it be knocking? I guess I will try putting a mech guage on it and see what happens

Excellent idea.

If the mech gauge says your oil pressure is good than it's probably a bad sending unit.

If the mech gauge says your oil pressure is bad than you might have some problems..

Bearings may have excessive wear, but you would not hear them. You would however, hear rod bearings if they are going bad, which would be the next symptom to show up.

Check wth mechanical gauge to be certain. If it shows low, start looking for time and parts for a rebuild. And do not wait until it shells out - the resulting damage will make it more expensive!

I finally figured out how to post a pic of what i found in the oil pan and stuck in the pickup tube. There was alot of the foil looking metal peices and some other parts of the half circle so where ever that came from im guessing it was a whole circle
