got the oil pan dropped tonight and rods pulled, and pistons popped out. rings looked good. crank looked good, and rods looked good. #6 rod bearing is almost completely GONE. very little left. not spun, just worn. wierd. none of the rods were loose either. real wierd think is, i had pulled the rod caps off and checked the bearings and crank. everything looked like new. now, all the bearings look worn pretty bad. all down to the copper or what ever the base material is. got to clean out the bottom of the oil pan as it has a fairamount of bearing junk in it.
anyone else ever have issues with the bearings after they checked them? a little bit of emery cloth to the crank, and hone the cylinders and should begood to go. dave stohler
