SPUN BEARING.

[SquareBody'90]

So i spun a bearing and was wondering if i put a new bearing in will it be ridable again.? Also when i turn the key my battery just dies what could that be, to much friction from the crankshaft or something else? Please help

No.

[SquareBody'90]

No what

I'm going to guess that you have major engine damage, and will need a complete rebuild or a new engine...

Maybe the engine is seized and the starter can't turn it over.BTW,how do you know that it's spun a bearing?

[SquareBody'90]

Oh hell. And because when i start it u gear it ticking loud and when i check there was no oil

So where did the oil go? With regular checking it shouldn't be below the ''add'' mark on the dipstick.

Well i just traded my jeep or it 5 days ago and drove it 126miles home then i drove it a day and half then my truck just shut off so i started it again and drove it 6minutes up the road then the battery lost power somehow then my brother jumped it and u could hear the clicking then we checked the oil and there was a little drop of black burnt oil on the dipstick. With tiny metal shavings on it

Only drove it 196miles before it broke down.

Yep,have to agree.

So just get a engine? If i do that i dont have to buy a new computer right since it is a 90 model

Loud ticking....could be a sticking lifter.

 

I'd assume the oil pressure switch is tied into the ECM and would no doubt shut down the engine to prevent catastrophic failure.....but it sounds like that might have already happened.

 

Not sure if you can drop the oil pan to inspect the crankshaft bearings. If the engine was run out of oil, chances are you'd need a rebuilt long block at minimum. Then bolt up your intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, and accessories. You wouldn't need to purchase a new ECM or engine mounted sensors but, you'd want to make sure the rebuilt engine block and heads are the same as the existing engine to ensure everything will bolt up accordingly and to ensure it's compatible with the ECM.
