'98 Eclipse GSX

From the pics, I don't think the #4 journal is saveable.

Why is that? Sorry if its a dumb question, but I have never delt with a spun bearing before and want to know everything I can.

I've done some reading on it, but not enough to feel comfortable enough with it.

[C3L1CA]

Looking at it a bit more I wont be able to throw some new bearings at it. I can feel lines on the crank with my fingernail.

I think I'll just look for a cheap manual tranny/transfer case and throw in the 6 bolt from my 95 or rebuilt the stock 6 bolt I have in my shed and jsut rock it like that.

A little update.

Tore apart the rest of the motor last night and every rod bearing was spun and almost all of the mains looked pretty rough. I'm just going to ditch this motor and then probably pick up another 7 bolt and just get this thing back on the road asap.

Awe, two cute little DSM's

And random pictures I took before running to bed before getting in trouble. Sorry they aren't great but some pictures are better than no pictures.

Looks like the bearings in the 1G I picked up. I'im going to put it back together and sell it as-is, I don't feel like replacing the short block, too many projects right now.

Are you going to polish the crank? or what are you all going to do to just put it back together?


Kiggly's kit for a 6 bolt in a 2g is cheaper than buying a new motor. I think I'm just going to put my motor/turbo setup from my '95 into this guy and let er buck. Then if I can sell my other car as a shell I'll have enough money to maybe get a nice converter and have a quick car again.

Hopefully start to put in some overtime here at work and get that kiggly kit ordered in a week or two.:sex2:

You gonna swap everything into this car since you're trying to sell off the black 2g or what?

[C3L1CA]

Yep, the motor/turbo set up will be going into this car and the black car will probably get parted out pretty hard core. I'll update the first post with an updated mod list of the parts this car will have on it ;)

I just got sick of having a fast car that was a tin can. This car is complete and shouldn't be that much slower being full weight but still have all the little comforts like a radio and heat. haha

After I get it running with the auto I'll put it up for sale to try and get an evo though. If it doesn't sell before prime track season I'll put some slicks on it and try and make a few passes with it and go for broke.
