So I had a chance to drain the oil yesterday and it looked good till I got to the bottom of the drain pan where I found a couple of small shards of non metallic material that looks suspiciously like bearing bits. Not a lot, but enough to use as evidence. The engine really did not run very long after hearing that sweet banging noise. I did start it for a very brief time twice after that, (no more , Andy) and it would fire right up.
So my question is, what might be the results of a spun bearing? If the bearing is toast, what would create that sound? Is head damage a possibility or likely? I can't get to removing the engine for a while, just hoping to know what to expect, maybe. Thanks, Joe |

Nonferrous for sure? Sounds like mine when it detonated a cam follower. When you take off the valve covers and check valve clearance it will be clear. When mine let go it took the cam with it.
Good luck, Conrad |

Good luck, Conrad Ooof. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Well, I gotta do more research and study. As much as I want mas cajones out of the type IV, a 2056 w/ stock djet seems to make the most sense for me. Joe |
