1990 GMC Vandura

This was an unfortunate car experiance. The customer brought this one to me with a knocking noise in the motor. It sounded like the lifters weren't getting oil so I dropped the pan and checked the oil pump. Sure enough, the pump was bad and there was metal covering the pan. It was too late to save this motor. The harmonic balancer was wobbling signaling that the bearings had been chewed up. The car wasn't really worth putting in a new motor so that was that. What a mess.
