Engine is an '84 22r dual timing chain, 195k miles.
I'll start with a little history. A while ago, I started hearing a slight rattle at around 2000-2200 rpms, I assumed it was the timing chain. One day on the way to my parents house, the noise got louder so as I was nearly there (less than 1/2 mile away) I continued there and left my truck. Last weekend I went there to take the valve cover off to ensure it was the t-chain before I ordered a new one. No go, timing chain and guides look excellent. So I then adjusted all of my valve/rocker clearances, started the truck and same noise. So since I usually only make it to my parents house every couple of weekends, I decided to take the truck home so I could try to figure it out in the afternoons. The truck was running just fine, no change in power, good oil pressure, etc, just had the slightly louder rattle/ticking noise. So I get half way home, about 7 miles, and downshift to turn when suddenly it sounds like someone beating my motor with a BIG F#$*ING hammer and the truck dies. Sorry for the long history!
So this afternoon I take off the valve cover, all looks well. Take off the oil pan and find two thrust washers (see pics). I have never done any crank/rod/bottom end work, just timing chains, head gaskets, etc. and know nothing about thrust washers.
I started checking for play on various parts and the second rod moved quite abit so I took the cap off and this is what I see...
So what I need is to know what my next steps are, is my engine shot? can it be fixed? what to look for to know if it can be fixed? Like i said, I don't know much about this end of the motor, so any help, comments, suggestions are more than welcome.
