[QUOTE=scorpionvmu;50708]does anyone had tor up rod bearings?????
my 98 2.5 ate up the first cylinder rod bearing to the point that there were only shavings left. does anyone else had that problem with that engine????[/QUOTE]

It's been known to happen. Also, the 2.5 is known to have oil starvation issues due to the design of the oil pan, long sweeping, high rpm right turns can cause a failure pretty quickly.
