MARTYW Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Okay guys, i have another question for you all. While putting a new water pump on my truck the other night, i found 2 roller bearings laying loose on the front of my motor. One was resting on one of the fins of my old water pump. the other one was laying on top of the engine block in front of the intake manifold. I took a pic and placed it beside a penny for size reference. Any ideas where the hell these came from???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detjoe Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 maybe a wheel bearing...but those would be balls, so I am stumped but want to see if anyone else knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Normally a roller bearing an a Gen 3 motor would be a bearing from a rocker arm, but that's a big roller. I have no idea what that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I wonder if it's from your idler pulley. Looks pretty big for it, but it may have lost a seal on the rear and threw a few of them out the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
