oh yeah, thats definately rod bearings. stop driving the car now

 

yeah i havent drove the car yet ever since that happened..its just sitting in the garage..got acl bearings on the way..hopefully my rods aren't bent..

 

Yep, the little metal candy sprinkles in the pan are bad, hopefully you have caught it soon enough not to screw up the crank or rod.

 

That's rod bearings... and you might have also cracked ringlands too
