Need a Spot
At cold start up I am expericing one half to one second of bearing chatter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> before it disappears. I have good oil pressure and use 30 weight oil. The motor is a plane 3.0 with 136.000 miles on it. Should I be worring alot about this or should i plan on a rebuild soon?

Thanks
phil

>>>*Can you describe that sound a bit better, please? The sound of a main bearing is typically a deep dull knock with lower than normal oil pressure....*EB

Are you sure you're not hearing an idler pulley bearing or a valve rattle? I have something similar on cold start but I think mine is the idler pulley bearing.

Relax, take a deep breath..... Its not the mains, In cold weather you get a rattle for a second until oil pressure builds up. Can't tell where your from but in my parts its -30c and I use 5w30 for oil in the winter.
