'95 3.0L, managed to run it dry with a leaking oil filter. *Berate here* Got the rig towed home. The engine still turns over but there is a horrible rattling in the upper part of the engine and it has lost power. My question is: Will this require a full engine replacement ($6000 at dealer) or can a rebuilt head do the job? Are these engines (main bearings) prone to total failure when running dry? I just want the straight story so I know were I stand when talking to a mechanic. Thanks, Al
