Just Finished 3.2 l Rebuild
I spun a con rod bearing over Easter and I just finished rebuilding my motor. I have about 100 miles on it to date and everything runs well. I have basic mechanical experience, but I have never rebuilt any kind of engine. The key was Wayne's book and finding a good machine shop to rebuilt heads, inspect P&C's, and resize rods. The key, as noted above, is to be organized, really understand the process you are going through and be clean. As far as inspection of parts, etc. a good machine shop will should be able to inspect anything you have any questions about.
Good luck and when indoubt, ask until you get an answer that makes sense... Arnie |
Congrats on your rebuilt engine, Arnie!

Hi
My 3.2 spun #2 about 3 weeks ago. What causes this?.:confused: |
Typically a loss of oil pressure causes spun bearings, but it could be related to other things as well...

In my case, I found no real evidence of the cause. Another cause I have heard with 3.2 l is the rod bolts stretch and then causes the failure. I assume this is why most sources recommend ARP or Raceware rod bolt when you rebuild a 3.2 l. When you rebuild, be sure to thoroughly clean the entire oil system, coolers, lines, etc..
