Oil Pressure Problem
By John M. Sutton - 02/05/2002 2:08:46 PM; IP 198.26.132.102
Al: Here is another suggestion that I have used to extend FE service life, and, it keeps the engine in the car: Simply replace the rod bearings with the current size. Yes, I know, they should only be replaced on a turned crank. If the crank is still good but the bearings have worn down, using the same size certainly won't interfere with the crank, and can extend engine life for a while. This only applies, though, if the crank and rods are still good. If you have spun a bearing, it's not going to save a destroyed crank at all. It alos won't work for high speed or extremely heavy duty uses, either. I once had a 390 that developed a knock on #3. The bearing was down to steel, and the crank was deeply scored. I replaced the bearing and got another 20K miles out of it,long enough to get another engine ready. Definitely not orthodox, but FEs have a strong bottom end.
This thread, so far...
