Re: 84 rod bearings
ill have to check the compression. i have done valve seals on these motors before, i just can't remember which car i worked on! I do keep a log, but over time, the motors have been mixed and matched and I've lost track of which was which. one thing i can say is the motor started up as soon as you tu...

Re: 84 rod bearings
update. after warming it up and running it, its smoking pretty bad. but the knock is gone. i'm afraid its the end of the line for this motor. i don't want to do any machine shop work. so, long story short, knock was cured without turning the crank by installing new rod bearings that are marked "...

Re: 84 rod bearings
update info. it's finally barely warm enough to work on this outside, but over the winter I replaced the rod bearings. Number 3 was indeed the damaged bearing caused by a family member running it low on oil. I searched many parts listings on the web to find one that labelled the bearings as "st...

Re: Considering Selling My '85 Tercel Wagon

If you come down this way, i have a green hatch that i think is in good shape, i haven't looked at it in a while. the hatches are heavy though so it takes a couple of people and some patience to switch them as there is a wire connection involved. pm me if you end of needing th...

Re: 84 rod bearings

Re: 84 rod bearings
update. the dealer was unable to help at all. part renumbered twice and discontinued. the manual lists 3 bearings. my bearing caps indicate that all 3 should have been used. dealer could not give specs on the 3 part numbers, but both napa and oreilly also list 3; one is .25mm undersize, the second ....

Re: 84 rod bearings
on every one of those links it says check fit. when you press check fit button it says it will not fit a 1984 engine, just 80-81.

84 rod bearings
i've pulled and taken apart my motor in search of a knock, which , just like petros suspected , would be the #4 rod bearing. I have a fsm and it shows that there are 3 different "standard" bearing part numbers. others on this forum have said, and parts sellers seem to agree, there is no ( ...
