i would get a another engine
Kaan is on to something. In all likelihood more damage is done to the motor, and maybe you won't find it on your inspection. Crank will cost $1200-$1500 new, head work isn't cheap and hopefully you didn't scar a wall. You're going to want a new oil pump while you're at it.

This is one of those projects where you have two choices
1. Man up and buy a replacement motor
2. Attempt to nickle and dime your way to a running machine

It's likely 50/50 as to which is the better choice. I'd go with #1. Then rebuild the bad motor and do something with it.

Your think of the wrong kind of build bro, I know what I'm doing when it comes to mechanics, the build I'm talking about is in no way nickel and diming...

Bro, not to be an ass here bro but if you were so mechanical I figured you'd know there was only one way to do it, the right way. Bro.

If buying a new engine is the only right way then tell me why they came out with the term rebuild. I want a built motor so instead of wasting money on a new engine I rather measure the block and head and drop all new performance internals in it

FTR...I'm not worried about time or money, never said I was. I'm not paying for any labor for anyone to do the work that I know I can do myself. I have access to all the tools I need to perform a thorough inspection, clean, rebuild of oil pump block and head, etc. like I said you guys are under the impression of a "stock rebuild". Not what I'm planning

You mentioned not having enough money at the moment to afford a Halloween costume... so I suggest just replacing the bearings...

This kid is always talking about how he doesn't have any coin and borrowing from people. So either he's dirt broke and talking sh!t in this thread or he's been scamming all the good hearted people into funding his life style.

Either way, not cool.

1. I ain't a kid homie
2. I dont borrow idiot I loan out so I don't know where you heard I was dirt broke.
3. Name one "good hearted" person I scammed?

bet you can't name one cause I've only borrowed 5 from ryan for food which got paid back and 20 from mac for an s2ki movie night and that got paid back

Look who's shit talking on this thread now

i don't think buying a new engine is a 'waste of money'

if anything, it's more reliable in the long run.

Not in the aspect of keeping a stock motor, but y buy new engine to only tear it apart to build it when I can build what I got
