If you hear that the bottom end is knocking can you get away with just changing rod bearings? |
[Edit] |
Answer
The answer in a nutshell is... NO !!
Knocking indicates excessive clearances between the rod bearing & crankshaft journals. These two areas will develope an out-of-round condition, wich MUST be machined back to acceptable tolerances.
Any competant auto machine shop can perform this for you, & fit new bearings that will last a long time.
Just putting new bearings will quite the engine for a short time, but will fail quickly, putting you right back in the same situation in short order!
The time and money spent on just new bearings will have been wasted.
