OMG! your engine is going to spin a con rod bearing and puke the connecting rod out the side of the block. It will be due to iron debris being on the filtered side of your high pressure oil circuit which ate your crank main #5 lower bearing. The spun bearing material will go to con rod #8 which will cause the failure. your doomed.

I'm hoping it's nothing big or karma will get me.
