crankshaft grinding?

[eclipsalon]

ive tried looking up pictures of cranks on google but i cant tell the difference, so if someone could tell me if this is normal or not i would appreciate it.

Nothing out of place there. If the crank has been ground you'll have to pull it out, clean it and mic the journals. Any grinding visible on the counterweights would be from balancing or some moron trying to lighten it.

"grounding"? Reason i pulled off the pan in the first place is because the cars making a weird grinding noise that i only seem to here when the cars moving. I checked first to see if the half shaft was hitting the pan but its not. Also take a look at the remains in the pan...

That's bearing material in the pan.

Thanks man!! So thats most likely the rod bearing then? But this isnt the famous crankwalk right?

I have no way of knowing which bearing is shot based on the info you've given. Could be a rod, main, balance shaft or thrust. Just no way to tell via the internetz.
