Pull my
oil pan to check for metal from my cheap pushrods.(see previous post on broken push rod stud) Well I found some copper looking shavings that could be bearing material? There was some metal that look like the pushrod metal stuck to the magnetic
oil plug. Not alot but does it matter?
I pulled the # 7 connecting rod cap and # 3 crank bearing. Not sure how bad this is? some streaking and very tiny flecks on the rod bearing. Main bearing looks ok.
Do I bite the bullet and pull the motor and replace the bearing and flush the motor of and any floating metal? or
Clean up and let it ride?
