Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

I just bought a 2g and I have only had it for about 3k, I was driving home and I heard a loud boom. Of course the tow truck towed it home. I looked under the hood and there is a hole in the block just to the left of the dipstick. Should i just rebuild my 7bold since there is not many miles or should i build up a 6bolt and swap it in. Any seggestions would be awsome. Thanks again:D

You can't rebuild a block with a big ol' hole in the side of it. Do the 6 bolt swap and be done with it.

6 bolt swap!

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

i hear that 7 bolts these days are just as good. that's what i've come to believe.

you could swap in a SBC 350 and be done.

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

6Bolt would be the way to go. But if you wanna go 7bolt I got one for sale.

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

Huh? Do you believe in Santa Claus too?

Do the 6 bolt and be done with it. Better yet just do a 2.4L.

Do the 6 bolt. I've played the 7 bolt card twice and regretted it both times.

Hey they proved Santa Claus is real in the Cronics of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

Just slap some duct tape and JB Weld on it & be done with it.

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

jb weld and duck tape huh. lmao

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

Yep, call up Justice Brothers Welding, they can fix it.

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

Sleeve it and build a 2.7.

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

6 bolt

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

ooh wait! Install a new hard drive and re-install windows. don't forget your windows updates. :)

Skip the duct tape thing, this will be better, truuuussst me.

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

2.4L :)

but if it is your dd, than a 6bolt.

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

Please explain the difference to me between the 2.0 6bolt and the 2.4 6 bolt when it comes to a "daily driver".
Odds are he would build both motors....

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

figured there would be more downtime with the 2.4L build, while the 2.0 would just be a buy and pry.

but if he's building both
2.4.

Re: Piston Rod Shot Through Block 100k
 

Good point :).
Both can be interesting to find as far as cores are concerned at times.
