Loud noise coming from engine and loss of power.

Yeah, I was hoping that wasn't what it was, but it definitely sounded that way. Ah well.

I just had my neighbour, who is a TTC bus mechanic check out the con rod and he said there is too much play and suggested the bearing is shot. It looks like I'll be dropping the engine tomorrow and opening it up.

Sorry to hear. I had two 2.0L Sunbirds that spun rod bearings...it's never fun


Take lots of pics
