Spun bearing diagnosis

I'm guessing No.3 Cylinder bearing has spun as did the same with the previous engines we had, just a quick diagnosis without starting it up, this engine is junked because of this bearing, which damaged the crank and cooked the conrod as a result of overheating and from excessive overrevving, which led to oil starvation on this cylinder, Damn Hoons :-(

it must be something with oil pick up coz ive done a number 3 cylinder aswell its not 2 bad right now so tryin 2 decide 2 repair motor or replace.

@133haydo Don't run it if it has spun, it'll get worse and eventually throw a rod, Youd need to get the crank reground, then get custom bearings to fit, It can get expensive :(

Is that Engine made by GM?

Cause i know that one model of the holden is actually a pontiac gto.

[HDXFH]

@TRcustomengineering Yep, It's a GM Buick 3800

@OlegKostoglatov Holden is Very Successful in Australia, & is the only car make in Australia that's staying Rear wheel drive :D & i found out they're also building made to order cars for the US Police force, because they are still rear wheel drive & durable :-)

@Aussie50 I think so too, Too much Hoons around and these Engines will be harder to find :(, but the Ecotecs have improved alot since these, it's just a Cheap design

[OlegKostoglatov]

@TRcustomengineering They are made in their respective countries for their respective markets. Holden in Australia, Opel in Germany, and Vauxhaul in Great Britain, although the Vauxahaul and Opel models are very similar sometimes. G.M has auto plants all over the world, even in China now, or did have. I think that Holden may be semi independent because it's ownership never came up during the G.M Bankruptcy.

@OlegKostoglatov Oh...,ok.

I knew about Opel being GM but i didn't know vauxhaul was too.

Yeah now i remember reading about the GTO being a monaro.

But where are the three brands made at If there GM, I'm sure it isn't USA cause I've never seen or heard about any of them being made here.

Thanks for your info! :)
