Mach 5 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Well, I got the engine out with the help my friend Bobby. So we pulled the pan and there was metal shavings galore. Its rediculous. Im going to have to get a pic of it. Anyways, the crank is also screwed up so Im going to be stuck for a little while.

Brian P Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 bearings got torn up? Did you measure the tolerances with plastigage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach 5 Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Nope, but I did make sure that everything was smooth and since it was the stock crank and (not oversized) bearings, it should have been fine. I did find metal underneath the bearing caps though so that could have done it. Jarek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCRagtopguy Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I don't think I've ever seen anybody this devoted to their w-body. You are really getting after it and I respect your grit and single mindedness. Nice that the machine shop stands behind their work. Good luck, I'm looking forward to reading the next installment of your story. I hope that she screams like a banshee when you are done!!

Mach 5 Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Just finished putting the rod bearings in. Cam is coming next week hopefully. Ordered some Denso Iridiums and the intake gasket the other day. This should be in tomorrow. Jarek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
