Well. It wasn't too hard to remove the radiator and get the AUX belts off. While the idler was pretty rusty it still turned, as did the p/s pump. I tried turning the crankshaft (in park) and it's not moving. According to the driver, this "stopping dead in it's tracks" was under mild acceleration, a 2-3 second whine, and a rev increase up to 4000 rpms. Should I next drop the oil pan and expect the worst? Is it common for 80,00 mile non TT do throw a rod?

Not an idler or P/S seizure after all? - naladan23:52:03 01/10/10
