I strained the out coming oil for good measure, only found a chip or 2. I?ll be tearing into it over the next few day and show the carnage as it comes to me.

Im not justifying anything, only citing facts and personal observations. Im not telling you your individual situation is normal, it isn't. The point is simple. We have an engine that eats rod bearings ( not a 100% failure rate). If you want to extend it's life, replace them with better bearings and bolts and move on. If not, sell and move on. As I mentioned before, there are alot of great performance cars out there in the same price range.
