Out of my 1995 Corolla, 1.6 liter. Jasper engine has about 90,000 miles on it. Didn't like the fraction of a second on initial start (sounded the worse after engine was at operating temperature, shut engine off, and then restart after 15 minutes or so) that it sounded like there wasn't any oil in the engine. Guessing the "worse time" when starting was when the engine was warm, the oil was warm, and it had leaked passed the bearings.
Engine still runs good, and hardly uses any oil, but damn, now what do I do? Can I put new bearings in it and call it "fixed"? Crank looks "good" yet, with a tiny bit of wear.
Oil pump side is the best looking bearing, with the space between the bearings is where the center bearing should be. Left the center bearing in (cracked it loose) since I was afraid all the guts of the engine would fall out.
