it is a 5.0 1989. a rom?
what is a rom? read only memory?
i've had 2 of those engines go bad on me. both ojl related problems. i am beginning to think that maybe the oil i'm using is to thinck but i can't see that being it. i'm not taking any chances though. with this last engine i'm using the 5w 30 the sticker on the truck says to use . anyway check that and let us know what you found.

its probably too late for that to even help. your going to have to pull the pan and check the rods one by one to see if any of them have any play in them front left to right (from tire to tire). if they do its is the bearing possibly the rod and more than likley the crank is out of round also. if you get the pan of check to see if the oil pump screen is clogged i'm curious about this. because thats what happened to mine.

ok thanks. that is going to be my weekend project. do u think it could be from lack of oil pressure?its probably too late for that to even help. your going to have to pull the pan and check the rods one by one to see if any of them have any play in them front left to right (from tire to tire). if they do its is the bearing possibly the rod and more than likley the crank is out of round also. if you get the pan of check to see if the oil pump screen is clogged i'm curious about this. because thats what happened to mine.
