Have a 96 2.4 LD9 5 Spd. Started off with a small tick and progressed so i looked into it more and most everyone said it was a rod bearing and sure enough when i tore into it the #2 rod had the bearings chewed to hell. Put it all back together put fluids in her and started her up and clanked for a couple seconds and then fine....then started its usually ticking again. i thought they just didnt have oil on them yet so i let it sit. still ticking so i took her out and got worse and worse so i took her home and by the time i got home it sounded like i had thrown the bearings AGAIN!!! Cant drive over 2000 RPM's without horrible clanking can someone help. rods and everything looked fine when i was in there so i really have no idea

.... If the crank journal got hurt in ANY way, shape, or form. It will always chew up new bearings. That’s why people have them cut.

well i put her up for awhile so i can work on it...would you suggest new crank and rebuild the bottom end. i had plans on goin to pick up another 2.4 from another org member here in a couple weeks i may just put the car up and work on that build.
