My Sierra, standard G13ba, has developed an engine rattle. From what I've read it could be the cracked/broken piston skirt issue but I'm not sure.
A. What else can cause a rattle
B. What the likely costs to repair this myself or get done by a shop.
How is the easiest way to determine if it is a broken skirt, I think I'll have to pull the sump off (not keen on doing this, replacing main seals etc etc).
Or do I just buy a replacement engine.

Engine Problem
Re: Engine Problem
If you're not too comfortable taking the sump off for a look i'd suggest taking the car to a mechanic that you trust and ask them to diagnose.just cruizin' wrote:My Sierra, standard G13ba, has developed an engine rattle.

Don't tell then that you think its a cracked skirt or they'll just tell you that your engine is stuffed so they can charge fr a new one.
