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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
