Well it smoked the rod bearing the rod and the crank is nicely scratched. it had a ton of slop Personally I think the crank might be shot now. The cylinder walls look excellent..no ridge and they still have the cross hatching all the way up and down the bores. It's rather sad one bearing crapped out. I know of a 2.5L non svt motor locally....might just get that and swap the svt heads on it.


And for those wondering the car was in the classifieds and is from PA. I got it very very cheap


also the oil that came out of the pump and oil galleries after the heads where off was nasty. It was really dirty and alot of silver to it. The rest of the motor looks awesome. Cylinder bores are great cams look good cam bores etc too. WTF is the matter with these friggin motors????
