I'm saying that there are other things that can make noises other than a spun bearing, so just be sure what it is that is making the noise.

In order to get the right sized bearings, your crank would have to be mic'ed and it would need to be smooth as well. After being beaten with a rod, I doubt it would still be as smooth as it needs to be.

Already told you to get a stethoscope and make certain of what your problem is, before you go ahead and take it all apart.


People that think that you can just swap bearings and you'll be fine don't take in consideration that oil clearances are very precise, that the crank needs to be very smooth, and that the rod may possibly have taken a beaten as well.

Rod knock (if that is your deal) is a big problem in terms of its fix.
Getting another engine is often the best fix.

k so its not the pulley and its definatley something inside, ive talked to a toyota specialist and he says hes heard this sound before and it sounds like a wrist pin problem. then i went on youtube and it sounds just like it, the diagnosis is to take the SP wires out one by one to see if it stops, and if it does than you have dodged the poisonous snake. wish me luck, i have another engine on the way also just in case and if the car is fine then i will build on it. I cant just let this thing go its a top of the line car and im not going back to honda for the life of me!!!!
