crunchy metal bits in my e50

Well, it looks like I found the source of my problem. The connecting rod bearing failed on the crank side. There are crunchy metal bits all over the inside of my e50. The rod has about 2mm of play in it now. I bet that is why the piston hit the head and put those dents in it.

I'm planning to look over my crank options and determine which one to get. Funds are a little low right now after finishing up my Pinto build, so I may have to go with a stock one. Anyone have a spare they want to sell me? I think I just sold one to someone else about 2 months ago. I knew I should have kept that thing.
