Sorry to hear about your troubles. This rod throwing seems to be so inevitable, and I'm getting so paranoid about it, that I've recently ordered an oil pressure guage + tube kit that will hopefully give me advanced warning me of impending doom. I absolutely don't want a disaster this summer while 2,000 miles from home.
