replace all the bearings on the next engine you put in.

You spun a rod bearing? Is that what happened? Its been said a million times, but if the oil pan is crushed there will be problems. I beleive this to be the reason so many of these engines fail. The oil flow gets pinched off.

my oil pan is ok, i do not lost oil and my engine do not smoke

i know that noise make a engine when the berring of the crank is broken
and my engine make the same noise..
on the idle its ok, we only ear it when i press on the gas

and when the problem start i was on the highway and my oil light come on at the same time the noise start

but now the light is always off
i will not try to return on the highway to see

your engine light came on because you lost oil pressure, which was probabally due to a dented lower oil pan, the black one. Then you probablly spun a few bearings because you kept driving on it and shavings from these bearing ended up all over the inside of your motor, thus causing the damabe to your cams. Either that, or just got a bad motor. I've gotten a bad one before. That is why you should always take the time to go over the inside of these engines before installing them. take it apart and replace the bearings and buy a new lower oil pan for it. good luck.
