Lucky me! It's just easier to blame that puddle for all the problems and my daughter for suggesting we go through it.

I agree, the engine wasn't rebuilt properly. Probably failed to have the crank checked and/or re-ground.
And this is what my engine bay looked like afterwards.
And the video.
This is a combo of 4 lo 1st, 4 lo second and 4 lo reverse at 5,000-5,500 rpm.
The launch was at 3,000 and you can kinda hear me hit the rev limiter. Yes rev limiter on the carb'd truck. I have the limiter set at 5750.
This for all you guys who really wanna see me hammer on this engine, hear my exhaust note and why I want that electric fan. :great
I ran 4 times throughout the day got further each time.

Only thing that stopped me was the fact the engine temp hit red line. Due to the high rpm and low air flow over the rad coupled with the mud.
Rebuilt by myself, about 10-12k on the engine at that time using new crank and rods.

Long story short, it's making a terrible noise. When stuck in the pit the truck shut off and barely got it started back up. I'm thinking water got in the pan and I may have spun a bearing. The truck can't get to 3000 RPMs and is making what may be a knocking noise. Anyone else been in this situation please tell me what ended up happening. I will most likely be pulling the motor, again
Also all the talk about pan gaskets, doesn't Toyota say to use fpig on the pan, which is in my opinion way better than any gasket when properly applied.
oh well

The engine was rebuilt properly. I had gotten the truck from the original owner who had never replaced the motor. The motor had 150k on it and he only changed 3 pistons in the motor. My and my dad spent weeks plastigauging and torquing and retorquing everything on this motor. Te crank was overlooked because I didn't think anything over it. The whole reason I built the motor was because it blew a head gasket and I wanted to see if I could squeeze a smidge bit more power out of it.

Well looking at 5-6 days of down time. Dropped off the crank today to get cut, which my shop said it'll take about 2 days. The bearings will take a few day to arrive. Then just gotta drop it back in. Total of $ 175 for the crank and bearings

1300 miles on an improperly rebuilt engine? Why are you driving through mud holes and romping on an engine? I would hope your tossing a new set of rings, and having those cyl walls checked as well. And not just hitting them with a hone tool. You never mentioned what you had done with the cyl walls.

Crank is at the machine shop. I never replaced the crank on the rebuild. Turns out the crank was worn down to it's last leg. He had to go over .0300 which is the max for the bearings. He is now welding the crank and then gonna grind it back to stock spec.
