I think someone managed to change the bearings with the engine still in.

If it's magnetic it might suggest it's part of the block casting, possibly right where an oil gallery is present which would account for the pressure loss.

In any case, bearings or not it sounds like a rebuild now, but if that's a "chip off the old block" (sorry Laughing ) it's hardly worth the trouble.

Never seen that before, you've been unfortunate. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

I’ve just watched a short video on YouTube with a guy who did this, it looks nuts but there’s a small part of me that fancies having a go!!🤣

Forgot to check this until now, it’s not magnetic so guessing cast aluminium.

Thanks
