Well i finally started the project and upon removal of the oil pan i found the cause. Little gold shrapnel in the oil pan which i believe means teh front rotor bearing took a ****. When this happens are there any other parts that usually go out along with the bearing?? like the eshaft?

E-shaft SHOULD be ok.

Negative, I was just wrong plain and simple. Plus I was speed reading and missed the part about the bearing. I wrongly assumed it was just another leaky coolant seal etc https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png



Thats why there are guys like you two, to correct and help along people like myself https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I f*cked one of my motors putting in an e-shaft that had metal shavings in the oil pan. I just didn't catch it until AFTER I put it together. 2 motors in 2 weeks...shitty.

Dumbrotorkid 12-28-2005 05:02 PM

Is there anything that usually goes out along with the eshaft like side housing and **** like that??

jspecracer7 12-29-2005 02:47 AM

the front stat gear may be toast too. Also, the oil pump chain may be out of spec. The side housings should be okay provided you didn't go railing on the car with it.



<===this guy railed on it and pinched rotor tips in and scrapped the **** out of the front housing.
