Hmmmm.....did someone use a dremel tool???

Mine uses adhesive sandpaper discs instead of a metal cutting head, but the idea is the same. Hopefully it gives you an idea on how it works.

[QUOTE=98camaroLS1M6]Talked to buddy of mine and he said it is most likely a thrust bearing and not to worry about it until something serious happens. Engine will not have to be rebuilt but crank refurbished. Should i get this fixed soon or wait? Personally, I would feel safer getting this done soon.[/QUOTE
Roughly how much do you think it would cost to have this fixed professionally?
