Its a little bent

[durallymax]

Well finally had some time to get the motor out last night once my new tranny jack showed up. Did have a small mess up, i was a little out of it and when i was letting it down I meant to tighten the bleed valve ont eh jack and loosened it caused the motor to crash into the concrete. That oil sensor dingy is smashed and the upper oil pan is cracked. But I do have spares from the other motor at least.

Tore it partway down tonite and got it on the stand. Didnt work on it too much but did get the bad rod out to have a look see.

Its definately bent, and there are marks on the bottom of the piston and on the crankshaft from where they were contacting.

Im tearing the rest of it down tomorrow if I get time.

Here is a pic.

Are any of the pistons protruding from the top of the bores at TDC?

thinking about doing that and welding a plat eon it to strenghten it up

From the factory, all pistons stick out about .010" at TDC. If they don't, they are bent, whether you can see it or not, and should be discarded.

Sell them on Ebay as "Good used rods. They worked when I removed them. No refunds."

Checked them all out and they are all a bit short. None of the pistons stuck out all of them were just under a touch.

I didnt plan on reusing them anyways.

Any ideas why one would bend more than the others?
