Considering buying a 2.3L with this exact issue - what did you end up doing? Doesn't look like the bearing replacement did the trick...
The balancer has to be up with top dead center I'm doing this right now to mine
Did it work
Did the engine last?
I wouldn't waste my time rebuilding a 2.3 did it twice, these engines have a design flaw, used oil
Ever change out the pistons?
Did you ever figure it out?
Did you replace cylinder 2 and did the noise go away?
Did replacement of bearing work or did you still engine problems
No it didn't work
@@frankf4428 good work for trying, any ideas?
Any update?
Yes I kept driving it until it blew up
@@frankf4428 You drove for how long
Mine knocked a tiny hole but after it knocked the hole it sounds fine no tick no scrape sound or no knock any idea what if could be?
Engine oil use?
?
