Hey bro my 2000 GT has the same problem. About how much was the fix for this?? I've heard it was about 1800$ so for that I'd rather put a new motor in it. What do you think?
@twostrokeornill1 low oil or redlining is the most common but even too high psi supercharger that the motor cant handle can start wrecking internal parts only made for certain horsepower im just gessing i dont no what this guy did to this motor
let me tell ya somthing guys a 5.0 can get 500.000 on them you just gotta change the oil and not beat the fuck out of them every 5 seconds you gotta give em a brake for an hour
@selby792 My "rice burner" has over 270K on it, doesn't burn a drop of oil, gets almost 40mpg, and I whipped a 4.6 GT's slow ass even with other heads in the car. I'll take my "nonsense" any day over a Ford. Especially a Rustang. Well, maybe not a supercharged one : )
The worst part is that a good rule of thumb is you can't just throw new bearings in and call it a day. You have to send the crankshaft to a machine shop to get machined undersized to fit new bearings, along with inspecting crank run out and such. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's what you're "supposed" to do anyway.
lol!!!!!!!spun a bearing at 69 thousand miles!!!!dam fords!!!!!!!my olds 350 went 350,000 miles b4 a rebuild never spun a bearing just had a flat cam an a few noisy lifters...GM 4 life!!!!!!!!
@hemicuda33 really? you bought a new engine cause of a spun bearing? could of just pulled the motor and replaced the connecting rod bearings in you didn't drive it like you were..and throw your crank journal or jounals out of round.. your PUD for buying a whole new motor.. your an even bigger poon for having the name "hemicuda33" and driving a ford mustang
oh my god people. Seriously? This car has a speed limiter, and the engine has a rev limiter. It doesn't matter if your in neutral or not. If you technically "over-rev" the engine, its likely due to mis-shifting...aka finding 2nd gear instead of 4th while driving spiritedly. A rev limiter can't stop a driver error.
hey my 2000 mustang gt had the same problem, i was low on oil and i over reved the motor. now i have a fulley built 4.6 (284ci) and im about to install either a kenne bell 2.6h or 2.8h. not sure which one will be picked. both are great superchargers.
who gives a fuck, this video is about a godam knocking rod... nobody cares about your car that doent exist... thats gonna have a supercharger.... which does exist... but not on make-believe cars you dipshit..
@Larryadam2 A car with a governor is easy to over rev. Simply put it in neutral and floor it. A governor only limits a cars speed. Your probably thinking about a rev limiter which restricts the engines maximum rotational speed.
Well when it has a spun bearing, your looking at a complete rebuild or replacement anyways, so it's not like getting it fixed sooner would have made a huge difference. Used engine would probably be the best bet since 4.6's don't often go bad.
That sucks my 96 gt has 146k and still goin strong

lol, i had similar but louder noise and took top half of motor apart hoping for it to be valve train but fearing worse like main bearing etc.
Ended up being melted piston. Pretty much worse case scenario. Now my 302 mustang is a 347 stroker with 6k into motor dyno'd 409 RWHP.
