- '02 Explorer Sport
Hi all,
My oil pan gasket was leaking, so picked up a new gasket and some paint to change it out, and respray the oil pan.
When I removed it, I saw two thin pieces of metal at the bottom. I knew immediately they were bearings, then later confirmed they were crankshaft bearings after asking some friends.
Question is, should I be worried?
The vehicle is an 02 Explorer Sport with 181,000 kms (113,000 miles) with the 4.0L SOHC V6 and the engine runs fine. I am unsure as to when it happened. No noises, no rattling or ticking, no burning oil, no poor gas mileage.
