Is there an easy way to quiten a noisy rod bearing?

Question

Is there a way to quiten a noisy rod bearing less dropping the oil pan and changing the bearings? Thanks

Answer 1

no there's really not,,i own a repair shop,and i do this for a living,,any thing you try is not going to help it none,,other than replacing it,and id do all of them if i was going to drop the pan off of it,,depending on what type car or truck it is it usually isn't to bad of a job to do,,just take your time with it,and do one at a time ,and torque them as you go,,and once your done,be sure and double check all of them,,but that's the best ,and only way to repair it,,good luck with it i hope this helps.

Answer 2

The rod bearing is noisy because it is loose.

No way to fix it other than dropping the pan.

Answer 3

if its noisy,you better hope it didnt scar the crank.all i can think of is drop the oil pan and change it.after you drop the pan check to see if the bearing cap is tight.you sure it is a bearing and not a wrist pin?or it could be the oil pump making a noise.

Answer 4

Drop the pan and check the journals, the longer you leave it the more likely you will need a grind, do it now like in real time.

Answer 5

no spray can fix for this problem. You may as well drop the pan sooner rather than later. Most mechanical problems do not fix themselves they only get worse.
