This is a follow-on to the thread I started in the Old Forums in August -- Old Thread
Being curious, I took some time this evening to pull the bearings off and inspect them. Here is a picture of some of the bearings (the others were very similar):
(The 'shiny' spot is a reflection from an overhead light.) From what I can tell, these bearings look to be in great shape for the engine's mileage (85K). If the bearings aren't the problem, then what is?
Here's a video clip of the noise the engine was making: Engine Noise
Valve noise?
Timing chain noise?
North Korea testing nukes-in-my-engine noise?
Thanks for your input!
