@@blairnewbold7602 thank you but 295,000 miles on a 2010 Chevy HHR, it was only a matter of time. No leaks on the engine or anything . She did me good and proud. I put 250,000 miles on the car.
Jerod Tucker if you were going to just replace rod bearings it is possible but this rod journal is damaged too bad to just through a set of stock sized rod bearings in. The proper fix would be to remove the case half (bed plate) and remove the pistons and crank so that it can be machined.
Thanks. This is a long shot but do you know what an acceptable amount of wear would be. For example if the crank was .005-.010 under specs would I be right back where I started?
