I have a 89 2.0. A few months back I was at about 4000 rpm and my engine started to make a bad noise. But it only did it when I touch the throttle and wen starting It up. At idol it runs fine and no noise at all. So I park It for a few months frustrated. Well last weekend I pulled the motor and find some debris in the oil pan and oil in my intake. I also find that what I think is my balance shaft has a small amount of play and another shaft that looks just like it (closer to the head) spins freely. So I'm kind of lost. I've never messed with the internals of an engine. So is that normal to free spin like that? I've even told its most likely I have dome bad piston rings. Any opinions/ advice of help would be awesome. Should I trash the motor? It only has 89000 miles.
