I just put together a motor for a buddy this past week and its not good. He purchased this motor from ebay.The seller said it had 9,000 miles on it and was ready to go. We got it all together and threw in a Futral cam package with prc springs and all. Started up fine with oil pressure at 40 psi. Idled ok for a while. Then went to drive it and started ticking extremely bad. Got louder the longer we ran it. Sounded like it was going to let go. It does not sound like lifters or valvetrain. Any ideas of what this might be???????? Thanks

 

sounds exactly what might be wrong with mine, sounds like the exact thing that happend to my car. And it looks like its going to be a spun bearing. You just got hosed on the engine most likely.

 

Damn, i hope not. Worked my *** of to get this thing done. Most likely it is. Wonder how much a rebuild would be? Sorry to hear man.

 

im trying to get in touch with HPE a local place in texas im guessing 3000-5000 for a rebuild with forged pistons, arp bolts, ext. Things that will help.

 

If you can take the oil pan off and knock on all the rod caps with a ballpeen if you here a hollow sound you found your spun bearing.

 

thanks for the info. Damn all that work and this happens. Tired of getting scammed.

 

i know what you mean man. Do yourself a favor and file a complaint against the ebayer. Because its ovious he knew it was there and thats why he was selling it. If there is a spun bearing.
