spun rod bearing

corewitz · 02-09-2006, 12:11 AM

my spun bearing ruined my rod and skuffed up the crank. the crank is regrindable but chances are youll have to get a new rod. Im also debating wether to rebuild mine or replace it with a jdm motor.

yeah i kinda figured the crank n rod will be fucked so im gonna rip the motor out n juss replace it with a stock jdm motor from the junkyard wit less than 40,000 miles on it....prolly save more money in the long run since my motor has 191,xxx miles already....

I took some pictures to help people see why I believe what I do.

Here are two rods: One in good shape and one that is not good.

Compare the difference:

I have to make a part 2 post because I exceeded my limit...

& More comparo pics:

I would conclude that if one were to have rod knock, they need to get that whole motor out and fix it that way. I can't see how just changing bearings will fix the problem.

Hope that helps people do things the only way I see being fixed properly.
