[ctrlraven]

That really sucks.

 

[camelgrundle]

Sure does suck. When I first bought my car it had that knock develop quickly still beat the hell out of it for 15k miles b4 ford put a new motor in it under the warranty I purchased. Best of luck to ya.

Looks like the ProCharger is already there......did it happen under boost???

 

[RichardP]

No. I had did a couple high speed runs. This superheated the engine, and when I performed a small burnout it then started producing the noise.

I feel for ya man. Mine went right before loosville after limited360 spent a week of his life on detailing, headlamp and stereo mods

Was there a cooling mod?

Nope :alone:

Nope :alone:

I still have to autopsy my last motor, it's taking up space in the garage right now - but I'm convinced it was lack of cooling mod that did the damage to it. Tickticktickticktick she goes...

RichardP, I'm really sorry for your loss, it sucks to be there.

 

[RichardP]

Thank you all for the concern. No cooling mod here. Unfortunately I did not hear of this "engineering flaw" until a few days ago. I will decide what to do with the car after I get a mechanic's opinion.

Here's your mechanics opinion:
You nuked a rod bearing.
Time to remove it and assess the damage.

 

[Seneca]

Sadly I agree with zack.... and sadly I already sold my stock shortblock

 

[RichardP]

Well..by mechanic I meant you Seneca haha.

 

[whitey]

Sounds like you beat on it pretty good??:shake:

Well judging from the first post of the thread..id say so man. I probably shouldn't have used the term high speed run. I went from 0-60/65 three times.

 

[vegasmarauder]

I was wondering..Someone on here a while back got a rod bearing noise. They pulled the motor and just put in a crankshaft kit and bearings and it seemed to run fine, reusing the existing rods, but new rod bolts.

It was a NA car though. I always thought when a rod bearing went the connecting rod end was messed up as well.

Has anyone every done just the crank/bearing kit and not a full tear down for a new rod?

Engine Noise

Zack my friend you got this one correct. The Marauder guys can always count on your correct expert advise.

The engine will be rebuilt.
