seizing?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You'll hear a change in the note (sound) that the engine is making. I
knew I was getting ready to loose a rod bearing about 4 miles before it
happened, as I heard it. Note the oil light didn't come on until the engine
stopped, so there still was oil pressure. The outside air temp was about 33
degrees, and I don't think the engine was overheated. Turns out the case was
rebuildable, but the crank was shot, as it ate number 3 rod bearing.</DIV>
<DIV>On another note, when I lost an exhaust valve head (on 2 separate
engines), I never heard a thing, until the valve head went thru the piston.
:O On 1 of those engines, it even broke the cam in half. It also never
leaked a drop of oil, and got completely rebuilt, and used for at least
another 5 years before I sold the car. The other engine was destroyed inside,
as it broke off part of the lifter support. Valve heads come off without
warning, which is why Keith recommends rebuilding the heads every 50K or so.
