i think i just spun a bearing........ 
was at 14 psi tonight, launched it a couple times, on the 2nd or 3rd launch, the car went into limp mode (where the atx stays in 2nd...)
well, i didnt notice until the tach hit just shy of 8K rpms :o usually the car will just bang off the rev limiter, but this time, for whatever reason, the rev limiter was no where to be seen (?????)
so i pulled over, shut the car off, restarted it it, to get it out of limp mode (this happens when i try to hold the rpms to high on the launch, but this time, there was no rev limiter, i have no idea why ??? stupid atx needs a high stall tq-conv')
as i pulled into my neighborhood, went into a boost at like 1/3 throttle, heard this wierd resonance, so i stopped, popped the hood, and heard some wierd noise..drove to my house, went into boost one time at partial throttle, and then as i pull into my driveway, i hear knocking, pretty loud knocking... no smoke or blowby, just knocking
im guessin spun bearing...i dont know what a collapsed lifter would sound like...and i hope thats all it is, but i dont think so, sounds like some knock from the bottom end to me :/
SOOOOOOO, can u change rod bearings w/o pulling the motor? is there any way of confirming/denying it is a spun bearing? 95 Avenger ATX->MTX Swap Holset HX40 @ 26 psi
