    Can you drop oil pan (to change bearing) with engine in car?

    Yeah, I know the crank needs to be examined for scoring. If I do the work myself was gonna mic the crank main and rod journals, ditto for the main and rod bores, go over them with a loupe, etc. In my (limited) experience, a spun bearing will make a hell of a lot more noise and will do it pretty...

    Can you drop oil pan (to change bearing) with engine in car?

    Do JY and UPAP stnd for JunkYard and U-Pick-And-Pull respectively, or are these specific companies I should be looking at to purchase from? I've had mixed luck pulling mills from a junkyard. Nothing like spending a few hours inspecting and pulling an engine, just to get it back to the shop and...

    Can you drop oil pan (to change bearing) with engine in car?

    Just to make sure I'm not going down a difficult road for no good reason... any ballpark guesses on what a repair like this would cost at an honest shop? Obviously there are big differences from shop to shop, region to region, but anyone have a ballpark guesstimate? Would it be cheaper to have...

    Can you drop oil pan (to change bearing) with engine in car?

    I am not sure yet it is bearings... this is a new problem I've just started looking in to. I was basing it off the symptoms. It runs/sounds fine when cold, and for the first 15-20 mins of driving while its warming up. Once up to temp, over the course of about 5 minutes it will go from very light...

    Can you drop oil pan (to change bearing) with engine in car?

    If you're offering to pay for a whole new motor for my car, I'll be more than happy to accept. I can PM you the routing number for my bank if you’d like. Otherwise, spending $1-200 bucks on a set of bearings and a weekend under the car is something I can actually afford that gets me a car to...

    Can you drop oil pan (to change bearing) with engine in car?

    How difficult is it to pull the k-member? I have the factory service manual, and done extensive auto work on various other cars (motor rebuilds, suspension rebuilds, "frame-off" resto, etc.) but this is my first FoMoCo, and only had it about a year so still familiarizing myself. Thanks for the...

    Can you drop oil pan (to change bearing) with engine in car?

    Hey guys, I've been having symptoms of what I think is a bearing knock. Once the car gets warmed up, it starts making a knocking noise at idle and part throttle, and after a few minutes won't idle (will just stall). I got under the car last night and it looks like there *MIGHT* be enough room...
