Hey I'm nuts;Originally posted by imnuts
but is there a way to tell if the bearing has spun without taking the enigine apart?
You do not have to tear the engine apart for this, just the oil pan (14 -7/16 inch bolts and 4- 1/2 inch bolts), plus the main caps (10 - 5/8 inch bolts).
Other than that, if you can hear the engine run and if the oil pressure is low and if their seems to be a deep rumble to it, then the mains are spun. If you hear a knocking, then a rod bearing is spun.Objects in my rear view mirror are a good thing unless,.... they have red and blue lights flashing.
