spun a bearing:(

[WSex]

its still not klankating or knocking
its a rubbing sound
i thought it was something belt driven removed the belt but it wasnt that.
it stiill rubs with clutch in.
i was cruising down to sayreville nothing over 2k
when i started it back up there was a constant rub
it can be something with the flywheel i really dont know.
i have 2 weeks left of school.
im droving up and down 250 a day on repossesed cars before they go to the auction.
by the looks of it i will be dropping it completely itll be easier in the short and long run
some bolts are so seized not even 3/4 guns twist them out
already broke a sway bar ling bolt with 2 ratchets and manual power.
if someone is around newark today and would like to gove me a proffesional opinion on whats happenening please docome and have a beer.
but i guess today im going to unhook everything and drain it
put a lift table to Support a dolly in the back and completely remove it
maybe call it a day once i roll a cherry picker 1/2 mile down the main ave

once i do that ill put the longblock on a stand and operate from there.
and if its easy and cost effective ill put a 12 valve cummins and be the most hated man in gm history.
but lets not get into that and hopefully ican get this thing rolling.

Be prepared to have to do that.

It's half assed because you were pumping bearing material through the engine for 40k miles and you are only inspecting and replacing the bearings.

BarneyMobile summed it up great.

If you spun a rod, the rod is trashed and it's got to be torn down
If you spun a main, the crank is trashed and it's got to be torn down

EDIT:

Just saw your other post. If you think it might be trans related, start there. If you are whooping on a manual trans car hard you could certainly damage the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, etc etc.

[Featherburner]

Shot TO bearing.

[WSex]

i dropped that trans 3 times this year idont doubt it wit my luck.
long story short it has a stock clutch flywheel and pressure playe
the to bearing growled at me 2 months ago or so so did the pilot bearing and what else not
it can be flywheel but idk im going to drop it regardless now ill check the bearings and all and ill work from there

[creeper]

my pilot bearing made a rubbing sound when it failed, very low miles on it

[LTb1ow]

I think you should install a 12v in it, no question about it.

good old "just driving along" story. You expect people to believe that you were cruising around and never took the car More than 1100 rpm off of idle ?

noo dont get me wrong i run the car hard really hard.
if my car had sweat glands youd find a lake underneath it.
but friday morning i drove down to sayreville and when i started it up in the afternoon it had that rubbing sound an i drove home when i got home 20 min later it stopped. later that night it started again and now we're at this point.

[LTb1ow]

Throw some heavy ass oil in, see if sound goes away.

[WSex]

driving home in about 2 hours ill have th oil drained and praying for no excessive shavings

Well, bearings don't magically get better. So there's that.

Pretty sure you can have bearings sent out for repacking and rebuild.

[MyFirstZ]

Are we talking main/rod bearings or the pilot bearing

For the price of a bearing there is no reason to send them out.

Even if you drain the oil and it is a rod/main you still may not see anything in it and he's right they will not just magically get better and stop making noise. As far as a pilot bearing it is a different type obviously and depending on temperature and torque on the bearing you can experience noises that come and go if its failing

For 5$ and a few hours I'd definitely try the pilot first

[WSex]

whats this?
drover sode behind cover by fan.
just unplug and dont worry.

ohh yeah im removing the whole powertrain
ive dosconnected the coolant lines and ac and everything except a fuel line gettig proper removal tool tomorrow.
need to remove steering shafty thingy and unbolt the ecu and lay it over the engine.

some disclaimers on the pcm i do not want to burn it out.
will it be alright?

[grazi]

It looks like tarantula legs in front of a disco ball

[MyFirstZ]

I would have went with tarantula doing a facebook mirror shot

better picture possible ?

[Blackbirdws6]

Looks like cruise control box?

[WSex]

3 hours in on my first ls1 removal

[MyFirstZ]

Pretty good so far.

Gonna have to go higher though to pull the engine out.

Hopefully you have a few more eyes when it comes down. Don't forget the brake and fuel lines.

That picture you took. Is it mounted on the frame rails? if so its the cruise control box.

[WSex]

yes i disconnected the brake lines from the module
and yes it has a big connector hooked up to it
on the inside of the fender.

[MyFirstZ]

the brake lines also are connected on the car and subframe. Just get a couple eyes in there when you start dropping.

sounds like the cruise control. Only thing I can think of that is pretty much hidden.

[deadtrend1]

I think the air pump is up in there also, but the pic looks like the cruse.

Thread is full of fail. However i do like how u stuffed your girlfriends panties in your intake op
