Very Simple Find

I never thought that the Main Bearings Had Copper, Thats Where my Problem was on # 3 and # 4 Cylinders!

I may be wrong because my comment pertained to VW's, but I had metal shavings in my oil pan and it was caused by an accident the car was in prior to my ownership. I only found the shavings after we dropped the trans because the front axle snapped under normal driving conditions. Check the vehicles history to rule out any previous accidents.
