LT5 INTERNAL NOISE - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Anyone who has heard a rod bearing go should be able to tell you. Many times when one goes you will hear a high pitched squeel as the bearing rotates around the crank. Otherwise, you will hear a low pitched, sometimes metallic, knock from the center of the engine. Remove your oil filter and tear it apart. If there are filings in there do not run the engine again. If you have ever run the engine low on oil, perhaps taken a turn quickly then, you can toast a bearing in a fraction of a second.
