If you flatten a bearing you will not see metal in the oil, you can pull the pan and not even find a shred of metal but still have a flat bearing. If you keep driving it you will find out the hard way when a rod locks up and flys out the block. Knocking noises are never good, the simple fact that by running thicker oil it got quieter would make me pull it out and inspect it before you are stuck buying a lot of stuff you didn't need, IE Crank, Rods, Oil pump etc.

^^^Thats possible I have seen tensioner get weak and make a smacking noise in the front of the motor especially after getting out of the throttle.First things first tho he needs to pull the pan and check out the bottom end.

Whats the point of that? You probably lost 35-50lbs.. but turned your car into a race car. I have done that mod before and it honestly ends up being a waste of time.. especially when it comes time to install the body parts back on.

there really isnt a plan. Kenny, kelly and i are just having fun. 1 month ago there wasnt a plan to do the brakes this way....i wasnt planning on dropping the fuel tank....wasnt planning on chopping the front off....wasnt planning on a cage...wasnt planning on pulling the whole wiring harness.
Basically the only thing that was supposed to be done from the beginning was the turbo kit and some aero panels.....and it turned into this. |
