My '96 9000 2.0LPT (B204E = B204L) has developed a slight engine sound which a mechanic I know thinks is caused by the con rod bearings being worn down.
Is that common with these engines or would something else be a more likely cause of this? Like the oil pump or main bearings?
He offered to drop the oil pan and change the con rod bearings for only the cost of the bearings and sealant. The reasoning being to avoid damaging the crankshaft or catastrophic engine failure. Does this sound like a good idea to you?
