Re: !!!rod help!!!!
Engines that have actually thrown a rod are simply junk and should not be rebuilt.
The thrown rod tends to flail around during the last few rotations of the crankshaft and hammer away on other crank case components, including the block, oil pan, adjacent rods, pistons etc. Inevitably such components are chipped, cracked and weakened.Also often the cranks are twisted or broken.
Even if they look okay, the damage/stress these parts have suffered opens the door for future failures.
