Question....
By John - 02/25/2005 7:30:03 PM; IP 142.177.92.167
If you havn't taken the engine apart, how can you be sure the wrist pin is loose? Lots of things can sound the same in a running engine, such as various valve noises. But assuming you are sure, how is it loose? If a cir-clip came out, cylinder wall scoring will occur rapidly and blue smoke will be evident, and as above.....damage to teh water jacket may occur. But that's not really loose. If the pin is loose with respect to the piston, eventually something will give and things could get really bad. If it's loose with respect to the rod, well then....things could get even worse. Basically, internal engine noise are at the least, a sign really awful things are about to happen, if they havn't already. I would bite the bullet, take it apart and then decide on wether you can do a cheapy rebuild or not. If not, I agree with the above...move up to a 390.
This thread, so far...
