Yes, water in engine oil can lead to bearing failure. The presence of water can dilute the oil, reducing its lubricating properties and increasing friction. Additionally, water can cause corrosion and promote the formation of sludge, which can obstruct oil flow and lead to inadequate lubrication of the bearings. Over time, these factors can significantly compromise the engine's performance and result in bearing damage or failure.

Can tire separation cause bearing seals to leak?

Answer 1It' possible that a badly worn seal which was already on the verge of failure could be "pushed over the line, and caused to leak by the severe shock and vibration involved in a tire separation failure, BUT a good bearing seal should not leak.

What would cause a driveshaft to bind in a th350 after changing u-joint?

If all the u joints were replaced it could be a broken or frozen wheel bearing. A broken gear in the transmission, a broken bearing in the engine.


What does engine failure cause?

Your question is sort of backwards, perhaps you meant what causes engine failure? Engine failure causes...the engine to fail. If someone told me their engine failed I would take it to mean that it stopped running, or wouldn't start.


What is main cause of thrust bearing failure?

The main cause of thrust bearing failure is often inadequate lubrication, which can lead to increased friction and overheating. Other contributing factors include misalignment, excessive loads, and contamination from debris or moisture. Additionally, wear and fatigue from repetitive stress can weaken the bearing material over time, leading to eventual failure. Proper maintenance and monitoring are essential to prevent these issues.

What would cause a loud knocking noise coming from the engine at 70 mph and make the truck shake very badly?

Having a bad rod bearing could cause a truck to make a loud knocking noise and shake when driving at high speeds. The engine having a coolant leak or an engine timing problem could also cause the knocking noise.
