GSR Malfunction, ....

[ThaQuietStorm]

I recently threw a rod in tha block of my rebuilt GSR motor, I paid a lot to have it rebuilt and I dont know what I should do. Should I part out my motor and get another LS to get running again or should I attempt to rebuild it again. Keep in mind Im a broke college student, without a lot to spend, and now performance isnt as much of an issue as it was before. I need to get around, but I do have a rep to keep. Should I just find an LS Block ? How much is Labor ? Anybody selling any parts I may need or want to buy parts from a beasted GSR ?

If the head is salvageable I would buy an ls block and go ls/vtec, it will be cheaper than buying a new motor, if you can do the work yourself. And it will be faster than both the gsr and ls engines.

Ya, it the rod didnt do any other damage its not too BIG of a deal. def. not something i would just chuck the block away. What rpm was it thrown at an did you drive it after this?

I threw it @ about 7900, and yea I drove it afterwards, ....

i was just curious about the rpm, i thought u might have done somethin crazy and gone way past redline. ur block is most likely chipped tho... u never kno tho, maybe u were lucky. my friend threw a rod once and the piston actually got jammed into the block and the head was perfectly fine lol. block was badly chipped, crank was shot and a gaping battle wound in the oil pan which left plenty of blood on the street. how come u didnt use ARP rod bolts?
