I C How U R !!!

What u supercharger guys cant help the N/A guys !!!

what happened



I cant answer internal engine stuff...not my forte
Sorry bro

Jus ask for sum opinions and seems as if noone wants to give me theirs, thats all, its all good. I'll fig it out, sooner or later.

What were the questions, again? I don't think anyone here was trying to ignore you. They may not know, or might have figured someone answer you in a MP. You also need to please remember that this is a new forum, and the membership base is still growing (there are currently under 100 members). Give it time, and it will grow in numbers and the experience members bring to the forum. Then your questions should all be readily answered.

Is there a specific post/question you are referring to? If it's the spun bearing thread, I would've answered the same as urbs and referred you to Ed Morad.

To be fair, it's kinda difficult to tell what shape your bearings are in from the photos you posted.

Aaron, it looks like 1 bearing gone, and 1 crank journal. I know if I was him, and needed the car, I'd dress-up that journal using aluminum oxide cloth, following it up with some finer cloth, then polish it as much as possible. Then get a standard rod bearing set, replace all the rod bearings, and button it up till "later".
AND, if it started to slap around again, park the car... Of course, I'd have to take it REAL easy on the engine till a more permanent cure could be found. This would just "buy-you-some-time" It doesn't look like a lack of oil caused the failure, it looks like just plain worn-out due to extended oil change intervals.

Ah, the importance of changing oil regularly...

I would say that is a good diagnosis from just the couple pics. I wasnt sure what was going on.

Good luck David, hope it turns out alright.

Thanks guys, but if u seen the other threads the bearings got washed. I talked to Ed Morad he has a 120000 mile engine for three hunm goin next week to pich it up, I will be beatin on her again by next weekend!!!!!!!

Nice buy! I'll keep that in mind if I need to do similar.

Hell, that ain't a bad deal.... AND, he's fairly close to you. (at least in the same state)... Good luck with it....

Goin to eds this weekend or early next week,may pick up a few extras while i am there, any sugestions/

Maybe look for that supercharged emblem you're missing?

Man u tryin to make me feel bad !!!!lol I am N/A !!!!

If you got money for extras pick up a S/C motor instead . . .

Yeah I know not that easy.

Ugh... sorry David. I'm laughing now, but I didn't mean it that way when I posted. Mixed you up with one of those guys who got their SC badge ripped off. Too many threads to keep everything straight!!!

LOL i thought you meant to say that to him. Like you were implying that he was missing the whole s/c by saying he needed the badge.

OK now that we all got this supercharger thing all cleared up !! I had thought about goin charged its just too much money after i buy the ecm, wiring harness, and any other extras, belts, brackets, tune-up , ect I have to have this thing back on the raod and cant be fixin and fabib stuff for too long so maybe this winter. Also want the paint drippin this summer first!!!!!
