F*** me! Its still messed up. its a main bearing. The one i wanted to pull an was gonna pull but was told not to mess with it. o its fine my retired gm mechanic neighbor said. Well its not! It knocks just as bad as it did when i started the project. Yes he was right the tensioner was broken but no that was not the only problem. no all the metal in the pan was not just from the front cover and timing chain. Basically my engine have lots of pretty and expensive new parts but its not at all fixed. its still where i started really. Looks like they should have listened in the beginning and let me pull my engine in the first place then it would have been even easier to look at everything an he would have listened an let me pull the bearing an itd actually be fixed but o well i guess. looks like ill get to do it my way this time! Just have alot more work ahead of me. Sorry for the kind of ranting update. I'm just frustrated! All that work an money to overall pretty much get nowhere as far as fixing the true problem!
