did it work now?

 

ya it worked. is that bearing scored at all? i dont think breaking the bolts would snap the rod in half. i think that would just free it from the crank and you'd have a knock.

and the motor wont turn over? really?

 

the surface on the rod does not look uop to par posting a pic right now

it looks scored. Is it scored? looks scored like an oil issue. that engine ran on its side didn't it? not for long at all but long enough to do damage probably

 

sounds like i got fawked on a motor ya it ran on its side but not long at all guess thats just all it takes....still thought it woulkda lasted alot longer!

 

just curious how long was it run on its side? the shocking thing is that engine made it 500 miles after being run on its side. the thing of it still is why wont the motor turn over. the only reason i could think of is if the piston dropped in front of the crank but that would mean it would still turn the other way. in neutral that engine should turn. if it is just locked then its a tough call. then i'd assume it happened on that drive. i'd have to have it torn down and the evidence in front of me and i'd be able to tell you what happened but with it being a rollover running that is the first and main suspect.

 

it wasnt ran on its side long at all ill try today to turn it over again...maybe pull oil pan and see what i find

 

oh i'm sure you'll find some nice pieces for your mantle. i always do when an engine that broke a rod comes in. sometimes you get lucky and they dont go through the block but not often. hope ya got a spare block

 

The rod bearing is missing in that picture, allmost looks like it was run without the rod bearing for a while...

 

or is the bearing still on the crank? i was thinking of another engine when i first looked at that
