volvoguy23 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 When I spun my rod bearing the motor sounded fine for about 20 minutes while driving and the light wouldn't go off. As I started to get home it slowly started to knock then it was getting louder and louder and then it went boom and shot a rod through the block. The light is gonna stay on if a bearing is spun.If I would've just the car off as soon as the light came on I would've been able to rebuild it. I wouldn't run it at all or you risk damaging the crank and/or rod(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvoguy23 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Also when mine happened the light came on right after I got into 2nd I think I threw the bearing slamming 2nd, I immediately did exactly what you did while in parking lot right down the street.. I thought maybe it was just a false alarm or the sender got clogged or something at least that's what I was hoping.. Car ran fine as well... Thrown bearings will give no signs unless you keep driving.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwebb502 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Fingers crossed for you. What weight oil are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwdGTP Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 My old GTP did the same thing, ended up being a spun rod bearing and also lost one of the cam bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volvoguy23 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hopefully the crank isn't damaged at all and you can just throw a new pair of bearings in.... How long since the rebuild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvo5.0 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 You're using the RN oil pan, right? Did you replace all of the seals inside the pan, specifically the 2 seals on the pipe inside the pan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Mac Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Exactly what I was going to ask, Jeff ^^^ Seems like a lot of people overlook the crossover tube to the cooler. Sounds like a main bearing to me...just went through this on a customer's s60R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Volvo Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sorry to hear that. But everyone who has run those bearings have spun them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sorry to hear that. But everyone who has run those bearings have spun them. Not true at all. Who even knows if he spun a rod bearing? It may have been a main, or not even a bearing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpin Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Drained the oil and checked the filter...not a spec of metal anywhere. Nothing on the magnetic drain plug either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Why not do the pan orings, could be just that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
