I figured out that i most likely have a bad rod bearing 
in my metro motor. It could not possibly be because it was seized in a junkyard before i planted it in the Argo right?????
Mr white, if you are any where near fairbanks I would love to lift all your metro parts off of you....
When I repowered the Argo I wanted fuel injection, and more power. The G10 Suzuki/GM engine was the only choice in my price range (300 bucks).... I couldn't find a fuel injected snow mobile for that little!!!
It isn't my place to say, but I did speak with mr slimpickins. He said he has near 250 hours on his G10 and still running strong... Which does make me feel better about the side load the cvt places on the crank bearings. Another thing I would like to add is the experimental aircraft community runs these engines in their ultra light aircraft. They use a belt driven underdrive system to actually power their propeller. This is significant because if the G10 were super susceptible to side load failures from loading the crank THEY WOULD NOT BE IN AIRPLANES!!!
Another thing my searches have turned up is bottom end issues with this engine are rather few and far between. Also, no one does anything to the bottom end of these engines. Unless my research has mislead me, folks that are drag racing geo metros really don't talk about bottom end modifications at all.
Time to get the motor out of the Argo and apart I guess!
