when i did the gte internal swap … people usally upgrade the oil pump or dont… i was one that dident upgrade the oil pump… now i guess there is a bit of clearence differnce between the rod bearings… i dont know the excapt specs becuase this is something out of my scope. which explans why my turbo went in the first place… due to lack of lubication… now i have a bad bearing… usally cost to oil starvation… ---

that does sound very rod-bearing-esque. when the rod bearing went in my old b17a, it would just do it when it was cold and under slight, no load throttle. it then got worse until it did it all the time. this vid is from when it was pretty bad, just before i pulled the engine: [![http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/redrumeg6/cars/th_MOV02087.jpg](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/redrumeg6/cars/th_MOV02087.jpg)](http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/redrumeg6/cars/?action=view¤t=MOV02087.flv) one of the bearings was completely shot, almost paper thin and squeezed out around the rod. there was a pasty metallic stuff in the pan, but no actual shavings. ---
