Does anyone know about the main bearing question though? I havent been able to find the answers about main bearings in my original post and that was why I posted here wondering if anyone knew about them

if its a knock at idle its not a bearing. reason for that is a bearing will not "knock", if a bearing were to make a noice it would basically be a whinning and would continue to get louder as ur rpms increase. it would never "stop" making the noise

Really? I thought it was wheel bearings that whine? I didn't think main bearings whined, i thought they knocked or thumped...that's what it says everywhere else at least.
