Title: Engine noise almost solved Post by: cooter131 on August 08, 2017, 06:44:49 PM Hello to all.
After a long time I managed to spend some time and find out what is causing a very annoying noise. It all started a year ago. It sounds like two metal pieces hitting each other and is rev dependant. As it was coming from the lower end of the engine I started by removing the sump. No1 piston had alot of free play compared to the other 3. It turned out the bearing was badly worn. It is one of those ''hour-glass" shaped bearings and its outside diameter is 50mm. Any of you guys has a part number to start with? Engine is 125BC, 1608cc. Car, of course, is 131 series 1... I will try to upload pics in case they could help a bit more. Thanks in advance gentlemen, George Title: Re: Engine noise almost solved Post by: cooter131 on August 08, 2017, 06:48:35 PM Pics

Thanks a lot. I will check again. George Title: Re: Engine noise almost solved Post by: cooter131 on August 11, 2017, 06:02:28 PM It seems that the engine code is 125 BC.

New big-end bearings fitted, oil changed, oil filter changed and the engine runs smoothly without the hammering noise. Thanks everyone for the input. Title: Re: Engine noise almost solved Post by: cooter131 on August 19, 2017, 04:50:36 PM Crankshaft pics
Title: Re: Engine noise almost solved Post by: cooter131 on September 01, 2017, 03:44:01 PM Hello again all.
After only a week, the same barings failed again! I guess because of oil starvation? Is there any way to check crankshaft oil passages without removing the engine? Should I also consider any other possible cause? Ideas plz gentlemen. Title: Re: Engine noise almost solved Post by: 131 Devon Dave on September 01, 2017, 06:48:11 PM You could have wear in the con rods is there any signs the shells have spun in the rod as that will block the oil ways
Title: Re: Engine noise almost solved Post by: vode131 on September 06, 2017, 08:32:49 AM When you have such a worn bearings you allways have a damaged crankshaft too. You may not see it by eye and you have to measure the journals. Only way to fix it you will need to grind the crankshaft undersize.
Title: Re: Engine noise almost solved Post by: Fiat 131 Abarth#2 on September 07, 2017, 11:19:22 AM that's normal in nine of ten the bearing fails again, it is always give work to the crankshaft!
