So a friend of my wife is married to a true 'car guy' (which I am not quite yet) who has rebuilt a number of fox bodies into 10 sec range draggers. I put my 85 GT Automatic up on his lift to investigate a horrid squeal. He said he's 99% sure it's a thrown / spun / busted crank bearing that would require a rebuild, which, per my aforementioned not-car-guy status I not prepared to tackle. The weird thing is, it runs fine other than running hot. His interim ideas were running lighter weight oil and adding some motorkote crap. This, however, won't change the blow up that's coming.
So, what else could it be, and am I screwed? Spent $2000 on the car....don't really wanna drop the coin on a rebuild relative to the total project value.
Thanks for your thoughts.
