Hello forum. I'm brand new to this great source.
I have 1958 TR3 that was totally restored 16 years ago, but it only has 5000 miles on it. Obviously not a daily driver. Recently, after driving it long enough to warm it up, the sound coming from the bottom of the engine sounds like the connecting rods are trying to swap places. Local mechanic confirmed wear on the bearing, but said the shaft looked ok.
My question is, can you replace the bearings without pulling the engine, and how do you determine what size bearings to buy.
Thanks,
Je
