sw corner ia. | or spun main bearing. could be a broken piston.. you are going to pull it anyhow, probably could get a new crank, cyl kits, reman head and turbo all put back together before you ever found anything that would be good enough to replace with. if you don't see a hole in the block it is worth a look see. very rebuildable motor with a ton of aftermarket outlets for very affordable parts.
I owned a loader with a 3304t that the motor oil pump failed, operator noticed oil pressure zero so he backed it out of the hole, drove it across the yard to the lowboy and loaded it up, started it back up and unloaded it, drove it into the shop where the mech pulled the pan off and put new bearings in it-and never pulled the head. I drove it for another five hundred hours after that with it drinking a gallon of oil a day till I grew tired of it and did an out of frame oh. it didn't run any different, just didn't use oil. that series motor is a very long lived engine.
