Your advice is welcome though cre, even if the engine construction isn't the same as the 7m's, it's pretty close from what I could see of the engine. Plus, listening to you guys here, it gives me other viewpoints to look at the problem. It looks like the rain is going to let up today hopefully, so I'll be able to start pulling it apart today. Thanks for the help.

Ugh, well, the jig is up. The rain let up today so I pulled off the lower portion of the oil pan and took a look around the lower block section of my 1j. The oil was clean, but i've learned not to trust it. I spun the #3 rod bearing, nice little shards are on the bottom of the pan. BUT, there doesn't seem to be any major damage. I'm still thinking of getting the 2j block from the yard out here, but it also seems I caught it soon enough that I can rebuild the 1j after flushing the oil system a few times.
 What a drag.

Sucks man... I'm sorry... It is definitely a good thing you caught it now. Check them all and don't hesitate to get the crank polished if there are any negative signs.
I've got a bad bearing (ball bearing) sound I really need to get off my rear and chase down.... but it's been wet and cold and snowy and I don't have a garage at my disposal.

I know how you feel, every few days for the last couple of months it has been raining here in sac. It kind of makes working hard to do, especially when you can't feel your fingers. Good luck with the bearing sound, hopefully it'll clear up soon so you can chase it down.
Ugh, I'll be pulling my motor and trans apart again it seems....Such a drag.
