Hey guys,
I finally got news on my car.
The mechanic opened the engine up and found that the crank was damaged.

The crank is now at engineering.
Its getting cut(undersized) and then for oversized crank bearings and conrod bearings.

Hope that makes my lifter noise go away and stops the high rev smoke go away.
What you guys think?

 

Lifter noise has nothing to do with the crank. Like telling the doctor your foot hurts and they start examining your head.
Now was there metal shards off your crank that could have plugged oil passages? That would starve the lifters of oil and make them tick. Also would explain the rings being damaged letting blowby.

 

um, not to discourage but you might be better off looking for a junkyard motor. Your going to have a lot in that motor.

 

Slow your roll there, Bullfrog.

If the crank bearings were all sloppy, the oil pump could have a hard time keeping pressure up. . . resulting in top-end oil starvation and ticking lifters.

 

Yes stocker,
It was someone one here told me before that the crank can drop the oil pressure.
Anyways about the shards from the old crank.. will it not be filtered by the oil filter?
Would the shards be able to find the way to the VALVE stem seals?
Where to look for the shards?

Mechanic just took 0.50mm crank bearings so i dont think the damage was too much.
It only smokes in high rev like between 5k and 6k.

 

I once read a report (with pictures) of a spent casing stuck BEHIND the bolt of an AK rifle.

My point? Sometimes things happen that you would have said were impossible.

Theoretically the oil pump itself could be damaged. If you have an engine with the crank out, it's not a great deal more effort to inspect the pump. Then dismantle the rest of it and give it a good cleaning ("hot tank") and you won't have to worry about internal contamination when it goes back together. Installing a new set of main and rod bearings, with fresh rings and valve seals, is almost as good as a new engine. Do all that with pieces worked on by a competent machinist, and you won't have to think about the engine until the next oil change comes up.

 

I wish i could dismantle my own engine...
Someone create a DIY. LOL.
I got a chiltons manual.
I think when my car is back i will definately look for an engine.
That way it will be better for me to learn and easier to fix my mistakes.

Damn i want to turbo but my car is giving me so much shit.
Hopefully it will be fixed when back.
