Hello again! Of course, now that I’m in the process of repairing the car, my mind began to wander. My eagle talon has 200k miles on its motor, and I am 99% sure the previous owners never rebuilt the engine. So, that means its time for thrust bearing replacement right?
I wont even have anywhere close to the amount of money to buy a new motor (7-bolt or 6-bolt) for at least a year, and unless someone on these forums replaces the thrust bearings for cheap, I’m also gonna have to replace them myself.
The reason I’m posting this is to decide when to do it. I need to drive this car for at least the next month, then I have 3 months afterwards to replace the bearings before I need to drive it again. Or is it even worth it to replace them if they have gone this long? I don’t know what to do really, looking for some crankwalk experts on this one. Thanks guys!
