Hey folks, I posted this on the restoration forum too, not knowing exactly which one was the best one to post on...
Hi to all and hope all had a happy and safe 4th... My question is about a connecting rod bearing that spun. Bought this 1965 MF202 with the Z134 gas engine and knew it had a spun bearing, just didn't know which one. Dropped the pan, and found the #1 connecting rod bearing had spun. Pulled the rod cap to inspect the crank and rod journals, discovered the rod and crank in bad shape. So, I'm going to have to do a major overhaul with a new crank and another rod. all the other rods and main journals look good.
Now the question... Is there anything specific I should check for to determine why the rod bearing spun?
I have the mauals, and have been reading to try and figure it out, but no luck so far.
