[mr.charli3]

so i tore the motor all apart , checking the timing chain,rod,and main bearing.all them were fine what could this be?it is double engine speed so i dont think valve.the sound also is rather had to loacte where its coming from.how possible is a bad bearing on the input shaft on the tranny or case?or anyother beaing in either of them?
how can i identify the tranny the truck is a 88 but has a swapped motor, anwhere the is a modle number? thanks guys

you need to pull it completely down and find out what happened

X2, do a complete rebuild. 

You need to buy yourself a set of calipers to check the cyls, the crankshaft, etc., for wear and to see what size bearings are needed for the rebuild.  If you don't have a the tools/don't know how to use them or feel the need to buy them, just take disassembled components to a machine shop.  The shop will check the crankshaft for wear/turn if needed, and send you home w/the correct bearings you need for the rebuild.  Check around w/your local auto shops to see who they recommend for machine work so you get a good one.

Yea i got a spare block,. I cleaned  up and tore her down, the bearings are all std. and i ordered new mains and rod's today.I have all the gaskets and std. rings.The crank and block all looked really good still have the cross hatching.my grandfather was a machinist for 40 years so he is going to look everything over for me tomorrow luckly he is up from S.C.!
Put new valve seals and cleaned up a extra head i had.funny i jusdt ordered a cam and it should be here tuesday same with the bearings!
Thanks for the input and i wil upost later on what was wrong. Im taking the motor out tonight

[mr.charli3 [OP]]

broke it down....oil pan full of metal! #1 rod bearing no longer even existed crank and rod are toasted ill post picks at the least it is pretty interesting lol sucks though

[79coyotefrg]

why did you order bearings when you didnt know the condition of the crankshaft??

if number 1 bearing is gone so is the crank,  it will HAVE to be turned to make it round again,  the rod bearing going bad will have made the crank journal egg shaped, having the crank turned at a  machine shop is the only way to fix that, and thus will require different rod bearings

on the passenger side of the block you'll find a allen head plug on each end of the block and on the bottom of the block these need to be removed (and kept somewhere safe) so the oil galleys are supper cleaned out when the block goes to the machine shop

carry your rods to the machine shop also so they can properly fit the wrist pin bushings to the piston wrist pins

hey glenn i got the tranny pics also got some of the crank and rod tought they may be useful to show the damage that can happen.the reason i order bearings is i have spare motor that i am gunna rebuild and a head i put new seals and cleaned up really well...i figured might as well do the bearings now!.!.50 now or 100's later as i found out lol luckly i have tons of spare parts!
