My buddy did the same thing. It was a ground strap from firewall/frame to the engine had broke when he lowered the engine to remove the top bolts. I have seen the ground strap go from frame to one of the bellhousing bolts. Check the wires at the coil too-they may of come off/loose when you lowered the engine or reached behind it.
Depends on the vehicle and which bearings. Wheel bearings, not so expensive. Main bearings inside the engine, expensive.
engine bearings failed . do not run engine until bearings have been replaced. (note) count the bearings that came out in the oil and compare that number to the number on your new bearings. any bearings left in the engine can become failed with other parts and harm the engine. Some times, magnets will placed into oil filters.
It all depends on the bearings that you need to replace! Get some quotes! If it is bearings inside the engine, then the mechanic you go to is going to have pull the engine anyways, so if there are no other problem with your engine but some bearings then i would just have the bearing replaced, but if you have other problems due to the bearings going out, then i would replace the engine. Hope i helped
What kind of vehicle? There are different transmissions, and different setups. For example, front wheel drive transmissions usually have to be supported from above the engine to remove the transmission. Then the clutch, and throwout bearing can be replaced. Caution!!! The engine being supported is NOT the only different thing you have to do. So reply with your vehicle Make, Model, and Year. I will be able to help you.
If the engine bearings are bad, then the oil pan will need to be removed to gain access. The engine will probably need to be removed and checked for other damage, as bad bearings can score the crankshaft requiring it to be turned smooth or replaced.
perhaps water pump, or clutch bearings. Get thee to an auto mechanic.
The center of the clutch is attached directly to the engine crankshaft, when the engine rotates faster the centrifical force spins weighted arms that are attached to the center of the clutch to the outside casing of the clutch forcing it to spin when the arms touch it. The outside casing acts as a pulley for a chain or a belt, separated from the center of the clutch by bearings so that it does not spin until the arms touch it.
Wheel bearings? Axle bearings? Differential carrier bearings? Engine main bearings? Engine rod bearings? Engine cam bearings? Need more info to help you.
Yes, you do not have to remove the engine.
Some indications you need to have the fan clutch replaced are an engine that overheats and too much play in the clutch fan. Another clue is if the fan blade freezes up or if the thermal spring is loose or worn out.
When a clutch fan is always engaged, it could mean that the clutch is no longer working properly and needs to be replaced. If a clutch wears out, then it will make?æthe engine to run hot when idle.
Could be a long list of things; Noisy when clutch pressed Pulsating pedal with engine running Difficult to ingage gears Slipping clutch or harsh vibrations The thrust bearing, and fork, should be replaced when the clutch is replaced. Bearing Slide and Fly wheel should be inspected and replaced if need be.
