on the way to a club , doing about 100 mph my car just stoped it cut off. pulled to the side of the hiway put some oil in the car (by luck I had oil in the trunk) turned it back on knock kock fromunder the hood...
I think i spun a bearing so I was gonna go ahead & do my swap but my other car is not runing ,so I will fix the berings then do the swap next time around... what do you guys think??? |

Just realize, if a bearing needs to be replace, it's not big deal, but if you SPUN a bearing, you're in rough shape. The crank will need to be removed, brought to a machine ship to be turned and polished, and the oversized bearings installed.
Not to mention that the journals in the block will probably have to be bored out and cleaned up as well! If you actually spun the bearing, then I would say go with the swap. -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
