so i picked up a ring compressor from napa and was on my way home. well....all of the sudden i had no accelleration...and there was a whiring sound...I got on the dirt road and revved it up a little and then there was a friggin banshee trapped somewhere under the hood...and she was a screamin..no power no accelleration and did not like higher rpms. so has anyone ever experienced that before? my wife is gonna drive me to town and i am going to get my truck...the pistons are in my donor block, just waiting for my crank sleeves to show up and will do a swap...sure would like to know what in the heck was going on though.

Sounds like a bearing? :-/

No power is not the Alt belt squeal. It ran so it's not the timing belt but no acceleration has a clutch, flywheel throwout bearing feel to it.

How was it with the clutch in and out? (asks the non-transmission guy :lol )

sounds like the pressure plate springs are no good. Second metro I bought had bad PP springs, no power to the wheels in any gear, clutch in or out.

or
the catalytic converter stone shifted and fell into place so that the holes in the cat do not line up with the holes in the pipes , that scream is exhaust gases , pressurized exhaust gases finding their way out through a small hole somewhere in the exhaust in front of the blockage , if you beat on the cat a wee bit with a rubber mallet you may be able to hear the innards of the cat bouncing around and they may bounce back into a

free er flow condition ...
until the next time .

the rear main sleeve i ordered doesnt fit. aparantly i ordered an undersized sleeve, so crank will need to be ground, and then sleeve can be installed. i will need to take the engine apart now and go back to the everlovin machine shop..... :banghead
