ORANGEV8Z Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Was hoping to get the Datsun back together this week. Ran into a possible issue. I checked the rod bearings on this engine "not many miles at all on it" and the milky white of the bearing is worn to the metal underneath. Is this normal wear? I can't feel any wear even with my finger nail on the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORANGEV8Z Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm hoping maybe this white could just be assembly lube stained? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) The pic is a bit blurry for me, but from what I can see it looks OK. If you've got the oil filter that was on it, it's always a good idea to cut it open and check for any debris. jt Edited June 21, 2015 by jt1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
