Well after all my work on it, looks like shes dead for good. The engine has oviously had one rod and piston replaced before and upon further inspection, that SAME one that has been replaced slipped the bearing, scorched the crank, and messed up the main caps. So im shopping around for a new long block to do a swap, just emailed Ed and waiting for a price, autozone wants $2400 for a long block, and I can just rebuild this one for $1500 myself. But anyways, im going to go get ready to watch the game and settle down, GO PATS!!!! hehe
