i got it out but it was the slave cyclinder on the clutch that was holding it to the tranny. i took off the slave cyclinder and pulled the fork down and out went the engine.

took apart the bottom end and aparently the car had the oil level sensor replaced at one point in its life because the current one is intact but i found parts of the oil level sensor jammed into the oil pick up along with pieces of metal.

im guessing the oil pump went out when the connecting rods bearings started getting starved for oil and the oil pump picked up the metal which went into the pump because the screen was torn from the plastic part that was jammed into the oil screen.

so the oil pump jammed up and gave up and the rest of the connection rods bearings went to crap.

also something metal got into the #4 cyclinder because the piston and the head are beat to hell

New Question

Should i check and/or replace the new motors (62K) connecting rod sleeves/bearings(not sure which they are called)?

Also should i replace the oil pump.
i saw a melling oil pump that has 25% more volume and 25 psi more than factory pumps?
