Ok so I started tearing into this motor because of low compression on 2 cylinders that got better with oil (rings). Time for my first major engine stuff. I'm doing timing belt, headgasket, rings and rod bearings. That was the plan anyways. Got the oil pan dropped and the pistons out. The rod bearings look a little beat up but need some more input on them seeing as how this is my first time looking. But then the fun stuff, below is a picture of what I found in the oil pan. Do you guys think this came from just the rods? The engine is in the car so I can't take the crank out. However, can I take off the main girdle just to look at that half of the bearings and if they look ok just bolt it back on? I feel like something could go wrong trying to put new main bearings in while the crank is in, unless it is necessary. Thanks for the help. Below are some pics. I also found some casting material down in the pan, interesting.
