VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

i dont understand why and i dont want put engine on it and get noise again.

please help me.

Rod knock, even when you spin it by hand I hear it. I think.

 

I belieive it is much more common in these engines than any enthusiast would like you to believe.

 

I hope the rebuild market has figured out how to cost-efficiently build thee bottom ends. It's not something I can spend the time learning.

So what normally causes it? Worn out rod bearings or are the caps stretching?

I believe it is normal to reusing rods and caps in rebuilds, with undersize bearings and a crank grind if necessary. Out of round journals are the most likely culprit, IMO. The 2.5 pack quite a punch on a short stroke.

 

Splitting and re-splitting the cases and "plastigage"-ing the journals seems like a half-baked way to rebuild these. It would either take some crazy high tech micrometers or a perfect touch , neither of which I have.

 

With the case bolts threaded into aluminum, the bolt stretch may have to be done merely by expert hand.

i found it...

Just question.

if i repair new ONE connecting rod.

should be OK with old piston and bearing connecting?

before i sell this car.

i need your answer...

It looks like the piston was hitting the bottom of the bore? The piston is damaged, the block is damaged. It's toast.

Drop a 2.2 in it and save yourself some trouble.

I'm not seeing an impact mark. Yes you can replace just the one connecting rod/psiton/bearing assembly.

mmm, Im still dare get one new rod before installed. I need Try to sell it.

only used 50miles of Fel-Pro head gasket.

old piston and rod's bearing.

 

96' Ej25 DOHC is old sh*t...

 

you think Ej22 can fit with automatic from Ej25? doubtfully...?
