So..Im under the celi replacing the broken motor mounts [all 4 were either snapped completely in half or atleast torn on one side] and i see oil dripping down the side of pan..i get a new gasket and take the pan off and i see this.. [yes, those are big curly metal shavings] Is this terribly bad or does this equel alot of $$$$ ?
yea thats what i was guessin..but should the engine be ok? rebuild the bottom end or better off just droppin the 2nd gen in now = stock
Depends. Where did those metal shavings come from? If you've replaced what they came from, just clean out the pan and what not and re-gasket the pan and move on. -K
lol..no this the first time ive pulled the pan..I have no clue on where these came from..prolly a rod or crank bearing, but thats just a guesstimate
Check your oil pressure - if it's low, you've got a problem. If it's still OK, you've got some time. If you spun or ruined a bearing, you'd see it in the oil pressure. And the loud knocking sound... Tom
i wont be driven it till next fall/winter if i do that..i wanted to drive it in the spring. No Knocking at all..a lil ticky, but Very, VERY little
