February 15, 200818 yr Well I forgot to post this up when I joined. Dont know if anyone cares to see. When I bought the car, the guage cluster said it had 132k It came w/ a shoebox full of reciepts totalling over $1500 of random things. Once I got it home I came across a reciept where the origional digi dash went out at 280k and a junkyard one was put in w/ 120k on it. WOW I thought I was just screwed. If the owner put 12k on it it has roughly 292k! OUCH well I just drove it till It popped. It lasted one ski season and a whole summer totalling about 25k! On the way home one day about 5 miles from my house. She popped sputtered and lost all HP. I got it down into 3rd and just layed it to the floor. It made it all the way home! Granted I was only doing about 15-18 mph. When I got home I thought, well you knew it was going to happen. Atleast it made it right? Walked inside to grab the camera and here ya go!
February 15, 200818 yr How do you know it was a spun bearing? Could be a wrist pin, or a rod bearing. Could be a lot of things really.... My bet would be on a broken rod that just didn't happen to fly through the block like they normally do. But to really know you would have to tear it down. GD
February 15, 200818 yr Author YUP not too worried about it. I posted it up a year ago. I didnt know anything about them, still really dont. Sounds like spun brgs ive heard, all in all it means eng is garbage to me.
February 15, 200818 yr That does not sound good at all:eek: . It sound very bottom endish. sounds like that's the end of her. Jeff
February 15, 200818 yr Had me confused as well. Double click your title in the forum and edit the title to something along the lines of: "Spun Main Bearing". B*D73 would be proud.
