I have a 1990 240sx that has an Sr20det motor. I was driving home one day and about 15 minutes from home my engine started sounding like marbles. When I got home after only 15 minutes of it sounding like that I turned it off and removed the oil pan and there were definitely pieces of rod bearing in it. My question is, after driving for only 15 minutes home, could it have more damage than just the bearings?
I agree with mike. A lot of the time a motor is just like a row of dominos. not the pizza lol once one thing goes the rest will always seem to follow.
definately. your rods are probably bad or bent pistons may have scored the walls at an angle cuz the rods wernt straight due to the bearings,ect. time for a total rebuild or another engine.
The big queation is-----what caused the bearings to went? low oil pressure or lack of oil or ? There are numerous bearings in the engine and also the crankshaft that could be damaged.
