I need to know if we can replace the inserts without lifting the engine out. We are down to one car that is responsible for getting 4 people to work and back. Two of them work 30 minutes away that are due in at different times. I am disabled and 3 hours of driving every day is extremely wearing on my health. Any tips I can get will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!

Loren SW Washington djhnnn New User May 26, 2009, 8:20 AM Post #3 of 4 (1444 views) Re: need to replace inserts in engine Sign In my dad said it threw a rod. We are hoping we can fix this engine because I don't have the money for a car payment or the money for another engine. I am disabled waiting to have my tenth back surgery and we are hurting for money. Your help is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!

This is an uncommon problem, and you'll want to be darned sure that this is really what's wrong before you go to the time and expense. If it has spun a bearing, you'll be looking at a 'crank kit' which will include a reground crankshaft with rod and main bearings. Don't put new bearings onto the old crankshaft as it won't last and you'll be doing it again, soon. There are only a couple of reasons, off the top of my head, that would cause this problem. Overheating or loss of oil pressure. So, you'll need to address the cause as well as the result. Always replace the oil pump when you have the oil pan off. This is going to be expensive, in parts alone.
