Anyhelp would be great

Oh yea i also found alot of metal shavings on the dipstick

 

Highly doubtful

 

Well I looked around a little on here and with the knowledge I have and the info I got from here I finished dropping my crank. 94 s10 4dr blazer tahoe with vortec 4.3 auto. here's what I did.
unbolted and moved front axle down and forward.
unbolted and moved steering gear box forward.
removed remote oil filter piping.
dropped oil pan. (found one of those ssafty latches for hoist hooks and a ton of slugde.
removed flywheel cover.
dropped both drivelines.
removed tranny crossmember.
lowered tail of tranny to reach tranny bolts (used long A$$ extensions)
wiggled tranny from engine.
removed serp belt and harmonic balancer.
removed rod and main cap
removed water pump, timing chain cover and chain.
using 9/19 wrench removed flywheel bolts (very time consuming)
removed rear main seal housing
dropped crank ( carefull, this thing will get you if you are not ready for it.)

now I'm taking it to a machine shop to get it turned 60.00
I've been wrestling with this damm thing for a while. actual work time== about 20 hours. but hey I'm on med hole right now so I figure I saved a butt load of cash versus having someone else do the job. hope this helps you out.
