ticking noise?

[Kejtar]

define runs like crap..... any chance you knocked off a vacum line someplace????

 

[Jeepster4wd]

runs very rough. like a cylinder isnt firing type rough. not sure on the vacuum but im pretty sure all vacuum lines are good. but i can double check.

did you retighten the motor mounts??? Very well could be the flex plate OR you could have a blown exhaust manifold gasket. As far as running like crap....are you sure you got the firing order correct??

 

[Jeepster4wd]

i never loosened the motor mounts. Im pretty sure the order is right on the plugs. I thought mabey a sensor or something came loose. When I first started it up it was noiser than a mofo. but has quited down some but still running rough which i cant figure out. i even bought all new spark wires so i dont know..... what else could it be?

 

[Jeepster4wd]

well its going to shop i have no idea what it is and im about to beat it with A pry bar. just doesnt make any sence why it isnt running normal.

 

[Jeepster4wd]

ok well it looks like acouple of bolts were loose on the flexplate and thats what was making the noise. and i think mabey one of my spark plugs were fouled or something or damage. so one cylinder wasnt firing Id like to thank everyone for thier help! and thanks for bieing pacient.

hey at least you got new bearings that should last another 100k and a new rear main and the such......Now you got a smooth running heep

well on yesterday i decided to drive my jeep. It started up and ran fine. but when i went to get onto the freeway via the freeway onramp i gassed it to acellerate and kaboom the motor goes!!! smoke everywhere and oil everywere. pull over quickly and look underneath... several large holes and one with a large metal peice sticking out!!! WTF?? i had to walk like 10 miles back to my house it sucked! iv got some photos of the oil pan so you can get an idea of how much damage occured. i have no idea what happened or if mabey one of bearings failed or what any ideas?????

 

[Kejtar]

I believe that you threw a rod..... Sorry to hear that man....

One of the main bearings went half way thru the oil pan! it was so mangled up! iim afraid to take the oil pan off. il have some more photos up today.

 

[old88xj]

OUCH........i don't think the main bearin went thru the pan...what happend was like Kejtar said...you threw a rod(connecting rod) thru the pan. I am at a lost for words Jeepster...i am sorry

 

[Jeepster4wd]

i mean rod bearing not main bearing. Yea its crazy i cant belive it. i mean I thought i did everything right and it goes and blows up! well im going to pull the whole motor out. il get some pixs of this rod bearing. it is just wickedly destroyed! Do you think i will need a total rebuild? also why the hell did it come apart!!! i torqued everything down to specs.
