Re: Main bearing?

could be a couple things...could just simply be lifter tick (almost all dsm's have it)....or it *could* be a much more serious problem, but doubtful it is, considering if it were this problem, your motor probably isn't running right now. it could possibly be the crank angle sensor rubbing on the crank plate, which is usually the last sign of CW you'll get before the motor is useless. if it IS this problem, then replacing the main bearing probably isn't going to do shit. you'll need to rebuild the block or get a new one....or just a whole new motor.

oh, you said it's not that loud?....probably isn't the crank sensor then...cause i know when my crank sensor was rubbing the on the plate, it happened out of nowhere, and was much louder than lifter tap...3 miles down the road, motor was gone.
