04 Mach 1 Engine noise

[Blue04Mach1]

check your timing chain tensioners and i would pull the pans if you don't find a messed up tensioners. kinds sounds like rod knock but could be chain slack also.

I'm pulling the engine this weekend and once I start the tear down I will let you know what I find.

Hey everyone. Just an update on what the noise was. The number 5 bearing was pretty much worn away. I found lots of metal in the oil pan and the rod was supper loose on the crank. I'll post the video so you can see.

Take Care

Yea it does suck. I measured the crank today and its beyond repair. Block seems fine though.

I'm living on Vancouver island . How about you?

I want to add a video link to another Mach 1 owner with a very similar sound - but fixable by just removing the oil pan. The issue surprised me and seems an easy fix (some others might have more damage if this happens). I was shocked this could happen and still wondering what the deal is with the pan (total WTF issue).

I'm not sure what would cause the bend in that oil pan at the moment.

Did you Jack the car up by the oil pan?
Sorry, but someone's gotta ask?

In another thread someone was saying they were having difficulty finding a Mach1 crankshaft. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

So this car is not mine. Just a video I saw while doing some Mach 1 web surfing and thought someone who see this thread may have a similar issue. But I am also wondering how this came up. My guess is that the car may have hit the pan going over a speed bump or something because it is lowered. But I don't get the purpose of those bars in the pan. Perhaps someone knows. Totally crazy.

How would it hit the pan? The K member would have to hit first.

He-he. Good point, I should have looked. So then still no idea how this would happen to him. Crazy. Hopefully never happens to another owner.
