[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 438861, member: 18629"] When I rebuilt my '92 2.5L I had a local machine shop order the master rebuild kit and do all the machine work and I too did the assembly. In my case the previous owner ran it out of oil so the bearing spun and made the same sound when running. During the inspection the shop found two connecting rods were damaged and needed to be replaced. I don't know how critical this slight damage is to bearing life but they thought it was. Use lots of assembly lube when putting it back together. Post pics if you find something. [ATTACH=full]121619[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
