Default tribute 2.3 "blown motor" 85,000 miles

Driving girlfriends 2005 tribute back from coast and believe to have spun rod bearing. The car had no oil in it and none of the sensors went off! Need to find out were the oil went with no apparent leaks. Making a knocking sound so I need to pull the bottom end as that is were the sound is comming from.
Anybody know were to get a 2005 FSM, or just the motor tear down section of a FSM?
I need to tear off the what appears to be the crankshaft balancer but need to know the procedure to check the rod bearings.

Anybody hear of the low oil level buzzer/warning light not working?
