hey i think my car has crankwalk how do i fix it do i just replace the main and rod bearings or is there some other way to fix it and will it blow my engine if i drive a car with crankwalk
any help on this would be great

 

The engine is blown already.

Get a sound clip to confirm it.

Most likely its a spun bearing and not crankwalk

 

i havent been driving it since the noise started so i think it may just be a spun bearing is there any way to tell whitch bearing is spun without tearing apart the engine i want to save as mutch money as i can

 

Well its not going to be cheap so dont bother.

Well.. you can listen. However if you take one bearing off.. you have to take all of them off.. .

 

If its a bearing then its gonna be a full bottom rebuild. So its not a cheap fix. If you can do it yourself then it wont be as bad.

 

i cant do it myself. i got a quote to replace the bearings for the parts and labor im lookin to pay about 500 bucks and i did not know that you had to take off all the bearings just to replace one so thats a good thing to know
would it be better to get it done at a mitsubishi dealership or at a local shop?
any help would be appreciated

 

Dealership = jacked up cost.

Depending on what is knocking... might be a spun bearing, might be a rod knock or how ever unlikely... might be crankwalk.

Motors that have these kinds of problems and have had a cheap/quick fix like you suggested, typically dont last long.

If you ask me it would be much easier to pick up a motor and drop it in.

 

it would cost me more to drop a new engine in it than repair the one i have and im lookin to upgrade when i save up enough money but the veichle im driving is my dads and hes selling it in a month so im hard pressed to repair my car as fast as possable

 

Find a junk motor!

Joshuwuh (sorry i know i spelt it wrong) has access to a wrecked car with the motor in tact.

 

how mutch would it be to drop the engine and put in a new one
