I have a 93 chev. S 10 - 4.3 -that has developed a plugged oil pump from a Fram oil filter. One of the crank bearings has been wallered out and is a knockin now. I am wondering if I can open exhaust and intake valves and still use the engine for a couple of months and run it on 5 cylinders. I am sure the rod bearing is bad and most likely the crank-but a couple of weeks more and I can afford to get one from the salvage yard. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Blaine
