Qustion
Qustion lets say when we drop my motor to do the oil pump and pan how likly is it that i'LL spin a rod or mains if i took the cap off the see the wear then torque it back down? Im thinking it would because of bolt strech maybe or from being disturbed im starting to gather parts for a rebuild in about 8 months (new job and moving out)
well i mean while im there im curious now just becasue the oil pressure. if it is really that bad i could spend 300 and get a new crank and stock berings for now.
because honestly if you are going to go through the trouble of doing a new crank and all of the lower bearings then just rebuild the engine. Thats y i said just dont worry about it because the money you spend now is wasted in 8 mos when you do a complete tear down. throw heavier weight oil in it. 8 mos is like 2-3 oil changes. limp it by and save more money to throw into the total rebuild.
