Re: How durable is the 2.5L?
Not odd at all if you spun a bearing and it reseated (temporarily).
Might also have been a valve lifter. An oil change will tell you a
fair amount - any metal in the oil is bad news but I think I would
stay close to the barn until I dropped the pan and looked, especially
if it repeats.

Re: How durable is the 2.5L?
No way... is it bone stock? Do you wheel it? What kind of maintenance
schedule do you keep? I'm betting with all my wheeling and running 33's
everyday, I won't get 200k. Although I'd sure love to!
