A view of the crank and connecting rod caps.
|
 |
A close-up of the crank, main bearing caps, and connecting rod caps.
|
 |
The crank journal on cylinder #2 was worn the most - the rest looked (and measured)
ok for the mileage on the engine.
|
 |
The connecting rod cap from #2 was the worst. Yes, this baby spun and was way
out of wear tolerances.
|

|
With the head removed, the tops of the pistons are now visible (and dirty as hell).
Is this from normal fuel usage over the 92,000 miles, or from burning oil?
|

|
Lots of cooked-on deposits on piston #4. The others looked similiar.
|

|
All four pistons & rods after removal.
|

|
A close-up view of the rings on one of the pistons. To my surprise, the oil
control rings did not appear to be siezed or very gunked-up.
|

|
A look at the #2 piston rod, with the bearing removed. This was the one that
spun.
|

|
The connecting rod cap from #2, with the bearing in it. Notice the inward
curve of the ends of the bearing.
|

|
Another view of the rod and cap from #2 assembled, with the bearings in place.
I don't think daylight should be visible thru there.
