... or you'll likely be looking at a replacement engine. I would imagine that rod bearings can be done in place, but I don't have any specific knowledge of it on 9000's. I can tell you though that if you don't stop driving it right now, you'll be probably pulling the engine and probably replacing it. It sure sounds like it's either a rod or main bearing. In either case, if you do rod bearings, you should also do mains, and I suspect that will require pulling the engine. Don't bother trying heavier oil, it's time to stop driving it and fix it.
