88 5KTQ Big ploblems

[jesper moreau]

Man guys... My stomach is not feeling well after hearing what I hear now...

You all have helped me resolve my spark problem... and I have spark now

I narrowed my starting issue to a lack of fuel pressure..... no problem

I was turning over my car, "as usual", and it sounded like my starter
went.... it is the origional looks like crap and so expected it went.
I ordered a new one... put that beauty in and .....
raow.......rr....rrr...click.... raow....
I tried to turn the crank shaft and it was much more difficult to turn
than usual.

I have done the bearings (main and conn. rod) It almost sounds like it
spun a bearing or crud is up in there.....

It has never officially started although it jumped a couple of times.
What do you all think. I do need to drain the oil and pull the pan
yet.....i would just love to hear some encouraging words right about
now. Should I expect to have to buy new bearings? Yikes!!
