This car is being sold, im not really trying to go all out with it. The knock is so slight i cant imagine much of the bearing is gone, but i will clean and check everything. How can i figure out if the crank needs machining or not? Should i just machine it anyway regardless of how good it looks?

No, they stayed on the same crank..But apparently they weren't within spec(even though they looked good). O well i shoulda just done it right the first time, lesson learned. Should I machine the crank while its out of just get a new set of bearings? The crank didnt have any marks on it when i...

The engine fired but developed rod knock, there is a thread in the 7mgte tech section on it.

I didn't check clearances as the engine didn't have rod knock before, and it didn't on this engine until it warmed up and got to temperature. The bearings were moved from one crank to another so it's possible the crank had been machined. I may just sell this car for 1500 with the rod knock...

Just installed the 7m. I had 2 7mgtes,one with rod knock and one with a bad headgasket. Out of that I made one thinking they would both hold. The knock only occurs after the car warms up a little(after about 30 seconds of running) and at over 2000 rpms.Any ideas? The oil pressure reads 20 psi at...

Since photobucket sucks ive moved to imageshack. The engine and tranny are in the car and turning over. Tomorrow the car should be running.
