rod bearings
 

Well a little info on why I need new ones. I heard this noise it sounded weird under load so I had to look in to it and I found out that my rod bearings were going out it looks like the metal was flaking off (I had a bad oil pump and I didn't know it) so I am looking in to getting new ones what kind should I look in to.

How does the crank look?

Re: rod bearings
 

It look good I will post pics later of it.

Re: rod bearings
 

I would make sure that the crank is good and not just look it over quick and slap in new bearings and call it good.

Re: rod bearings
 

I am going to have some one look at it for me.

Re: rod bearings
 

Keep an eye on it after you put in new bearings, I've never had good luck with turned cranks in DSM's.

Is that what this was about?

No that was really my buddy car.

I used clevite 77 tri-metal Main and rod bearings. Whatever you get, I would make sure they are tri-metal as opposed to bi-metal, because the galling resistance is like 3 times better.

Re: rod bearings
 

well looks like I am putting in a new crank and main-rod bearing and piston ring. I saw that the #4 piston ring look bad so I just going to hone out all the cylinder's and put in new piston ring sent I have the piston out.

Busted!!! ;)

Re: rod bearings
 

I suggest having John Gosh do the work if you are comfortable pulling the motor out and dissasembling it yourself

Re: rod bearings
 

JG would be best, but that job is also pretty easy with a bottle hone and a drill.

I am getting a 100mm EAGLE FORGED CRANKSHAFT. It the same one as I have and here are the pics of the rings you can see little marks on them.

Eagle cranks for mitsus are junk. Ask MAP about them.

Re: rod bearings
 

If you get an eagle crank, expect that it will need machining out of the box. They usually have a big ol' tag on them right out of the box saying so.

And FWIW, I have only ran King bearings. And so far so good.
