What do you think of my bearings

GMcanblowmyFORD · April 27th, 2011, 10:16 PM

I was tearing down my motor tonight and got to the rod bearings and main cap bearing and you can see scaring and copper on all of them, what do you think?

I think you need new bearings. And should probably mic your crank.

lol yeah im planning on doing a 306 with trickflow pistons and heads get the rotating assembly balenced, im not sure what cam and intake i want to use, not going to reuse my e cam or cobra intake

Holy shit dude! Those things are hammered. Anytime the copper shows through the whole width of the bearing, that's no good. Did it have any oil pressure?

rhuckster · April 27th, 2011, 10:48 PM

Your bearings are toast & the best you will be able to do is have the crankshaft turned & polished.

yeah good oil pressure all the time, it would rise alil above m on the normal guage if i was really hammering on it

69fastback · April 27th, 2011, 10:53 PM

Ahhhhh the crappy stock gauge doesn't count. I bet at idle, it had shit for pressure on a good gauge.

lawl, you mean cloudnine?

I'm proud I only spent $550 total on my bottom end, including the $150 explorer motor I bought to use

btw here is how my old motors junk looked, and you can try and shoot pictures like I did
Carnage from the old motor.
