·hey guys! I need someone to suggest what i should do now. Me and my bud have been workin on his 88 turbo for 5 weekends straight now pulling his motor cause the rod bearings were bad.
I've been reading alot on the site and still he just wanted to just do the bearings. All he wanted is for it to run for atleast 3 months. His truck took a crap and he needs a car. He wants to keep the car and he was plannin on gettin a new block for 1500 6 months from now
All the rod bearings looked perfect but the no. 3 was chewed up. We went ahead and replaced all of them. We checked Everything!! pistons bottoms looked good, crank, rods etc. We thought everything looked perfect. We took our time and finally at 2:30am rolled around and we were ready finally ready to fire it up. Before the motor was even running we could hear the dreaded knock :sad:
I did notice it was in the top end. I'm not sure but what it sounds like is one of the valve heads are boucing around in the cylinder?
What else would get destroyed along with the rod bearing like that? I read a post last night saying maybe the injectors? being really loud?
He says he's not sure if the spark plugs were changed EVER changed in the 2 years he drove the car!! could that possibly the problem with all that fuel not burning in the cylinders right, I'm sure a plug or 2 is bad.
Well, I hope you guys can help me! We were hopeing he would be drivin this car now. Guess not. Thanks guys!
