question about my rods.. quick!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hey guys, i took my oil pan off in hopes of solving my loud clanking noise problem and vibration. It mainly vibrated between 3200 and 3900 rpm's.. and kinda at idle. I thought this would be balance shaft related, maybe a rear balance shaft bearing. Although i have not replaced the bshafts yet, i dont think thats the problem. I took a picture of the rear bearing, and it seems intact.
bearing
I think i may have come to the problem though. Where my rods connect to the crank, there is some side to side play. Is this normal?
rod
it moves side to side about a milimeter along the crank. They all do this, not just one, which is what makes me not sure what to think. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
