Drove it a mile and heard clanking engine, looked at the oil pressure, It was O! Instead of stooping to have towed home, I drove it back slowly. Last month, I dropped the pan and started to remove the rod and crank caps and bearings. My mechanic friend said you got lucky the crank may only need polishing and new bearings. So, I packed and marked each of the main bearing caps, bolts, and bearings along with piston rods and caps in individual plastic bags. Then packed them into a larger plastic bag which was put under the workbench near the garbage. We towed the car to Mikes garage so he could pull and disassemble the engine. Tuesday, he asked me to bring the parts I had removed from the engine so he would have everything in one place. I looked around but could not find this black plastic bag and then remembered it got pitched in the garbage. So, I am now up the famous creek and am asking this group what I can do?</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>
