The No 2 con-rod bearing smeared. The oil hole on the bottom bearing was
covered as a result of the smear.
I took both top and bottom out and replaced them but the connecting rod
still has room to shake up, down and sideways.
It is possible that the journal got worn down but only a few shaving of
bearing were squeezed out and most of the bearing was still intact.
I am looking for a crack in the upper connecting rod that may be opening as
I tighten the cap.
The head is still in place.
The engine is also still in place and I am hoping to repair the problem
without removal.
Thoughts and items to look for would be appreciated.
Now I go back under the car.
