so this is my new engine which i brought used its a 2006 put about 30 miles on it and the infamous knock appeared luckly happened just as i was on my road . knew what is was straight away as i had blew a rod less then 3 weeks before this.
so i dropped the motor checked the pan had couple bronze specs dotted all around not as bad as i thought it would be.
so i dropped the motor out just finish stripping it down last night and only one of my bearings had spun it didnt even have the tabs on it nor was it attached to the rod cap. this is for my cylinder 4 all other bearings seemed alright and i could actually see what colour code they were. the spun ones got wiped clean but since am in am going to replace all the bearings since am in and the rings.
now hes my question for this rebuilding 2006-2007 motor business where you -1 and use that as your new size is this just four the journal bearings are dose this apply to rod bearings.
and also as you can see from the pics my crank is pretty much perfect accept for where rod 4 was it is deeply scratched. sine only one bearing spun and the scratches are not that deep because it didnt get to run for long. can i just sand and polish my crank myself just to make that one bit smooth again . all my journals are all good i can run my nails through the journals and crank and no scratches .
So my main question is do i -1 for all bearings our just journals?
can i still get away with this crank?
if i dont minus -1 for the rod bearings should i order the same colours again since i can see them except rod 4?
or plastiguage them first
and rod cap for cylinder 4 was pretty hard to get of compared to the rest it didnt want to budge should i replace cylinder 4s rod. rod seems good condition.
ps am not looking to spend 890 pound on a new crank cheapest methods
