probably didnt get to the intakes in time and the antifreeze washed out the berings and made them loose,henc they spun those are the cars i like to buy and swap the motors in :)
that's exactly what happend. bought it from the guy for $500 (little over scrap at the time) and bought a $400 engine from a 2005 impala with 65,000 miles.
not bad for $900
need to make a vid of the old engine disassembled when it's warmer out
@01GPGT excellent!!! so did you flip it or did you keep it? theres always more arounf the corner sell it and take all the money and go buy 2 cars and fix them and then buy 4 cars and fix them then take 1/2 the cash and go have some fun and do it all over again :)
@01GPGT sounds great i love bying the parts cheap and putting together a nice car and making a couple grand :) let me know how it goes if you ever need any info or want to bounce something off me give a shout i pretty much stick to gm but ive dabled in them all ill never do another ford if i can help it i did an explorer that was a major pain in the ass but i made 1500 and took the guys chevy tracker in trade for 500 fixed a couple things cheap and sold it for 3100
@jimblemania I agree. I know the poster states it was a spun bearing, but based on the sound in the video I'd say he left a rocker loose or mixed up the push rods.
@anfman1986 i did not use a cell phone. the sound was not changed or distorted in any way that is exactly how it sounded only reason i used that camera
@BobbyKos it was a rod knock took the engine apart when i replaced it cyl 5&6 spun a rod it was not the rockers. and that is exactly how it sounded as well the camera did not change the sound
My 1999 grand am gt sounds the same.

That actually sounds more like a loose rocker arm.

@BobbyKos and this is why sounds recorded on basic cellphone cameras or handhelds are not good diagnostic information.
