1995 grand am 3.1L w/ 110,000 miles. 100% stock.
My brother came by for a visit and I noticed the engine was knocking! It is coming from the bottom and center of the engine. Very distinct not valve ticking or something loose clunking up against something else. Goes up and down with engine RPM.
I thought a might get lucky and dumped the 10w-30 and put in some 15w-40 and changed filter puro classic to a Wix. a little better but I think its the main bearing(s)
I'm still in disbelief that at barely over 100k it spun a bearing.
Is this common?
Alldata has a laundry list of things to remove before taking the oil pan off. Is the true? I was hoping a little more old school. lol
