Hey all,
I have a 2.9L in pieces laying out in the garage. It is down to a bare block with all the components laying in piles.
It was taken out of a Bronco II with an Automatic (Thanks Randy). I am in the process of trying to rebuild it for a new spare if mine ever blows.
The reason it was pulled was because the crank kept walking back and forth and burning out the pump in the automatic transmission.
When I rebuild this, what do I need to pay extra attention to in order to fix the problem and keep this from happening again. What causes the crank to walk? Bad bearings? I was expecting roller bearings but they are just half moon shaped pieces of metal.
This was a project for me to learn on, and man am I ever learning.
Go ahead... Edumicate me!:icon_confused:
