Good luck! Mostly, may your "luck" be far better than mine.

Easy to tell if it is a broken crank. Take off or loosen the fan =

The "T" series cranks break whether the engine has been recently rebuilt =

The thought is that a harmonic vibration sets up in the crank at about =
4100 rpm and finally fatigues the crank and it breaks. With the stump =

and change the ratio to 4.3:1.
I broke one in the late 60's. Picked up a used crank for $25 =

bearings, pulled the motor, took off the pan and installed the 4/44 =

OK, 5# oil pressure tells you it's hemorrhaging some place. If =
it's a bearing, why should just one bearing catastrophically fail? I =
rather like the broken crankshaft theory. A friend of mine had that =
happen recently with his TF. As to repair, you can always get by for =
some time with a minimalist approach if you don't drive it too hard or =
too much. If all you do is take it out on 40 mph club tours - about 500 =
miles per year, then that might be OK. If you want it right, do what it =
takes to make it right. You may have to pull and disassemble quite a =
bit before you have your answer - and by that time, it will not make =
economic sense to put it back together with a minimal repair. Most of =
us don't want to go this way more than once...
OTOH, a friend had to shut his TD down in Kansas on the Rallye to =
Reno due to a horrible clatter that, after a tow back to Michigan, =
turned out to be valve gear banging on an ill-centered valve cover! Of =
course that was not associated with a loss of oil pressure...
FWIW,
Allen

If it proves to be a bearing, does one just fix the offending =

I haven't had time to look at the rockers or the bearings.

Rick,
I think you have to investigate the problem before you can =

Hi all,
This is about my TD, but I bet you folks can help.

Thanks,
