1. How do worn bearings cause a cylinder to misfire? (Not meant rhetorically. I don't know myself if it is possible.)

2. My balancer started to go via slipping. The outer puller was seperating from the innner "hub." Even so, this only affects the accessory belts.

3. The timing itself is determined by the crank gear behind the balancer, on the end of the crank itself.

4. How did he diagnose the worn bearings?

5. I don't know what the HB does for lubrication...???

6. Does it still make the metallic noise?

7. I wonder if the misconnected plug wire caused some grounding out and if that coil pack is then problematic?


So, no real answers from my pea brain. But I would say that it all smells like dead fish to me...
