B20f main bearings

posted by  someone claiming to be Uniberp on  Mon Oct 29 12:33 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I fear my 73 145e needs a main bearing.

Coming off an expressway on a hard right hand cloverleaf, I noticed a scratching sound, which, by the time I had pulled into my driveway, had excalated to a grinding shreik. It still starts, but the starter pulls hard on the engine.

Anyhoo, do I have to pull the engine to have a look? Does anyone have a good method for looking at/replacing the main bearings as easily as possible. The car is an automatic and a bit of a rust bucket, but I still like it.

Thanks in advance. Michael Pergiel, ELmhurst, IL.
