    When i was 17 i spun all 4 rod bearings in my celica being dumb. They were destroyed. 17 year old me didnt know better, so i bought some nice rod bearings, put them in through the oil pan, cranked them down with no torque wrench, and was super proud lol. I started the car, it sounded like it had serious cams in it. "Brap brap brap brap brap" then it blew up again after driving it 100 feet lmao. Lesson learned. I learned a ton of lessons the hard way, but the hard way to learn is still a way to learn.

    I believe I may have a minor rod knock in my old 302. There’s a slight knock from the oil pan area once it warms up a little. I put some Lucus high mileage and it did help the noise about 50%. Are there ever scenarios when you could just drop the oil pan and replace the affected bearing

    • @motorcarnut
      @motorcarnut  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If the rod bearing spun inside the rod journal and looks darker than the others because of heat I’d say you have to measure the rod journal but that requires special bore gauge etc so if in doubt just replace the rod with a good factory used one if you are on a budget don’t buy a new aftermarket one they may be different weights and that’s not good.

    Could and would the machine shop address that seized/welded on bearing? Sort of grind it down and off. You use the term grind but I would imagine it's still a sharp tooling bit that cuts in a thousandth, or less, at a time.

  • @johannjohann6523
    @johannjohann6523 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This is exactly why I am "Not" a believer in low viscosity oils like 0W - 20. Heat in an engine causes the viscosity of oil to be reduced. Furthermore, high viscosity oil help compression and oil pressure. If you put a "full synthetic" (which is a blend of synthetic and mineral oil) 10W-40 oil your car, by the time you change the oil it is not uncommon for that oil to from a 40 weight viscosity down to a 30 or even 20 weight viscosity. I always like to look at racing for what is probably the best components and products for a car. In NASCAR they use a 100% Synthetic 10W-60 engine oil for racing for the reason I explained above. It needs to be noted though, 100% Synthetic oils do not have viscosity breakdown until usually 10,000-12,000 miles. And why you can go longer between oil changes with 100% Synthetic oil. Also, 100% Synthetic also leaves a film on engine parts that protect from "dry starts". I always say, if it is good enough for NASCAR, then its probably good enough for my car as well.

    • @motorcarnut
      @motorcarnut  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Good write up! Many people can learn from this. Most of the problems new cars have is way too tight oil bearing clearances and lack of changing the oil results in a high amount of engine failures. BMW comes to mind with there 1000 of an inch oil bearing clearances, ridiculous.

      Im not sure if you know this but racing teams usually go thru one or more engines a season, their tolerances aren't necessarily for longevity. That being said; as a customer you have every right to use in your car whatever your desire and pockets allow.

    Would it need cylinder sleeves? Have this issue with my friggin Hyundai Sonata. Haven't driven it in a year and half, close to 2 years now. Sitting outside. Last time I tried to start it, it was seized. It began with a spun rod bearing, then seized, probably from a main bearing. Unless it was the main all this time, no idea. I don't know what to do with it. I don't want to sell it, and don't know if I should fix it. I can't even sell it if I wanted to. Nobody wants a Hyundai Sonata with a seized engine.
    There are a few other things to fix. Need a bunch of money to invest in it, only for it to still depreciate... She's been a money pit for a while, and all I can afford is to either fix it all and be left with nothing financially but at least it will run better than ever, or buy some beater, which would be a hell of a downgrade. idk. it's made me apathetic and lethargic just thinking about it.

      @@motorcarnut thank you for answering man. do you think the cylinder walls are scratched from debris? or maybe other parts? I'll likely bring it in for a shop to do it, i don't have the know-how and tools to do the work. What annoys me is the shop i used to go to was like "you need a new engine", and the used ones were going for the same price as the new ones, and new ones weren't available at the time (around 2022).
      Whats also annoying is that this is the second engine already, it's been replaced once. This would be the 3rd time. Seems like these Hyundai engines keep burning oil, and cause friction. I'll see if I could ask them to just replace the parts you said, and ill provide the parts. so ill just pay them per hour. Idk why they would make me replace the whole engine, unless the cylinder walls were affected. If so, I would bring it to a machine shop and get the cylinders sleeved, it would still be less than buying another engine. at least in my case. idk

    Crap there are heaps of reasons, the main one would be conrod out of round

      But why? because lack of oil, oil starvation.They all come down to that.

      Journal to rod clearance not only oil , once the clearance is there the oil won't help anymore

    Had a spun rod bearing, put a new crank in, all new bearings & new rod..After 20min of road time it spun the same bearing😂
    I did reuse the same old oil pump but is there something else that may have caused this?🎉

    • @motorcarnut
      @motorcarnut  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The oil pump should always be checked but probably a blocked oil passage leading up to the failed bearing.

      And if it's out of spec? Most of the time it has to be removed, how are you suppose to remove the connecting rod or crankshaft? You should learn a little before passing clueless judgment.

      @@motorcarnut it's not clueless measure everything means just that... meaning if you can get away with the extent of the damage, it could be way out of whack. If it's out of spec then you have to pull the engine. I'm not going to get into this. When you make an engine repair without pulling a motor and if succeeds, the customer will be happy and you will save a ton of time.

      How are you supposed to measure a connecting rod bore for out of roundness in the car???? Guy like me are here to teach you only if you’re willing to learn of course.

      Yes, you can R & R the bad bearing, but it won’t last …. Impossible to get the journal into perfect round while on the block.
