Reply With QuoteBetter now than later. Least you're not out on the track and shit fucks up.
We found out what the case was...
Pulled the sump off and #4 just had no bearing, nothing!
My guess 1 of 2 things happened; either when it got a rebuild (dodgy at that) the 4th bearing was merely forgotten, or somehow the bearing has been worn down that much....
Glad i dont have bent rod or crank, but the crank is scarredso ive just got as much work to do.... just as well im finding this now
Better now than later. Least you're not out on the track and shit fucks up.
When I pulled my engine down to rebuild it, the bearing on number 4 rod just fell out.
(there usually held in tightly)..
Asked my engine builder freind why, and he said its from detonation.
Perhapse number 4 gets alot hotter than the other cyclinders causing it suffer detonation, and then hammer the shit out of the rod bearing.....
Good luck V-tec.... Fingers crossed your crank isn't to dammaged or cracked....
Very keen to see your car with some more grunt...
Cheers mate, and thanks guys for your help and info
