rod bearings went. any good reliable places to get her fixed that you guys recommend? :seeya:

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

Time for a rebuild. DB or MAP would be good places to start.

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

Yep, either rebuild or throw a used engine in.

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

Just rebuild it yourself
ive rebuilt a block and it worked great!!
And was very cheap to do

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

Agreed! Rebuild time! RS, DB, or Map. I've been to all 3 of various things in the last year. All have been great to work with.

its a 2.3, if it wasent I would just shop around for a 6 bolt

so I would need to get the head cleaned

crank micro polished ? or replaced with another 4g64?

rod honed ? then just measure bearing clearance and reassemble? or is there alot more im missing?

it would be my first rebuild. I honestly want to do it myself for the experience. also I have heard repair cost of 800-2500?

If you do in fact live in Maple Grove as your profile suggests, I'd use DB, closest. Proximity is always nice.

As long as you messure right its pretty damn easy

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

Everything that has or could have even the smallest bearing shaving stuck in it(oil pan, oil pump, oil filter housing, oil cooler, oil cooler lines, head, etc) need to be replaced or thoroughly cleaned, or else you risk it just spinning a bearing again quickly. Some things like an oil cooler are pretty much impossible to get clean.

I just moved out to anoka two weeks ago. money is tight like it is for everyone. I would really like to do the rebuild myself, with help from who ever is willing. I have learned that nothing is truly easy when it comes to dsm's. but all in all im hoping for the best. in all honesty I have yet to dig into her . so I truly do not know the extent of the damage. just going off what shane, and a trusted mechanic and my ears heard.

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

Need to get it torn apart first to see if the rods and crank are even any good.

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

what do i look for? warps, visable scratches, discoloration ?

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

Scratches on the crank and discoloration on the rods. If they got hot they are likely warped, at the minimum they will be weaker.

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

it spun on the dyno and was not run long after that. im hoping the damage is minimal

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

start doing anything with this lately

Re: where is the best place to get a rod bearing replaced ?
 

Unfortunately not as much as I wanted to. I dont have a garage right now. So its been tough. I dont want to start pulling things apart and have no place to set things and store them safely
