so today has been a really bad day, so i went out to the shop and just worked for awhile. started with a complete motor and tannyy, seperated them and started tearin the motor down. stripped it down to block, crank, pistons, flywheel, and torque converter. keep in mind the motor is locked up or the torque converter would have stayed in the trranny. 2nd pic shows the #3 and #4 on the crank. #3 chewed the crank up pretty bad as you can tell. thats not the bearing, thats the crank chewed up. also the main bearing between #4 and #5 is melted to the crank.

Yep that's not good, definitly time for an LS!

 

[dropped93]

yup. i cant even finish tearin it apart cause i cant spin the crank, soo... i guess its goin in the scrap pile.

 

[DRAGGIN95]

I don't remeber how you said this happened?

 

[dropped93]

not exactly sure. possibly oil pump went, somethhin of that nature. it died on me on the way to work one morning when the check gage light came on and oil pressure dropped. oil was thick as mud, got real hot but the motor never overheated...

Damn bro.. Probably was the pump.. scared them up pretty bad

 

[dropped93]

oh yeah. i knew it did as soon as i dropped the pan and saw all the metal shavings. it sucks but hey stuff happens. cant dwell on it haha.
