i was tearing apart my 2200 because it blew up a wile back to find the problem ... so i found it , there is a metal bearing on the crankshaft holding on the connecting rod to the piston. it was bad one was complety tore apart sending metal flying threw my engine , this brings me to my question 1. what is this metal bearing and 2. how do i get the crankshaft out , i have allready removed all the braces holding it down and the pistons and all, the part im having trouble with is the end with the crank pullie , i removed the large bolt but cant figure out how to get the crank free.
i know this is kinda fuzzy but its all i can tell you with my limited engine terminology ... but any help would be great
thanks.
IF YOUR GONNA GO DOWN ... THEN GO DOWN IN FLAMES
you gotta get a "pull-er" to pull off the pulley from the crank shaft and you'll also have to take off the timing chain cover aswell.
Oh god, you pal have got a can of worms on your hands. That block will need its gallies fully cleared if you ever expect to be able to use it again for long. Reason is that the oiling priority of the LN2 (2.2L/2200) is as follows:
Lifters & cam
Mains
Rods
When the metal frags reach the lifters they become clogged and begin to tap endlessly until the frags are removed & the lifters replaced with newe ones. The cam bearings also wind-up taking a crap as well. As for the rest, well... You can guess what the damage will be (Or can you, nubie). While we're at it, have you checked your timing chain? Bet that took a crap too. In fact, I bet that's exactly what went wrong first and everything followed, depending on what you were doing at the time of failure. Wouldn't suprise me if part of what you found was frags of it. How many miles did your engine have on it at the time? If it was more than 100,000 then the tensianer failing is no suprise, they're due for replacement usually by about 80,000. Otherwise the LN2 is a good workhorse engine with relatively untapped potential. Basically everything oiling system related will need to be cleared and replaced, most peticularly the oil pump and pick-up assembly. In fact, to be honest, is seems like it would be a better move for you just get a rebuilt short-block (or long-block if you can afford it) and just bolt that in instead.
Go beyond the "bolt-on".

wow that was alot more work than i thought but the reason this all happened was my oil filter came off on the freeway so i had no oil ... so the chain is good all i believe i need to do is replace the oil pump and cam bearings ,,, maybe lifters but will i half to get the parts from a dealership?

Well, you don't hafta... But do you really want to take a risk on quality parts made in China? Clevite 77, the only name to know in bearings. And lifters, search here for the "LN2/LT-1 lifter build-up". And don't forget to clear all the oil galleys!
Go beyond the "bolt-on".
