Did I wirte main bearings? I meant rod bearings.
Apparently the rods would also need to be replaced , since the rods are what some call "crack rods", they don't have machined connections, they are meant to be discarded.
So Terry says I should either find a good short block or a good used engine. I am guessing a good used engine, because by the time I spend $$$ for labor on building up the short block, and gaskets which are a couple hundred bucks! I would probably be better off finding a use 2.5L.
Though I went today to the Salvage yard and they found a lot of NON SVT 2.5L and they are $750-1000 , How much LESS HP do these have than the SVT version and Can I swap some parts from my current engine to make it an SVT????
OR should I try to find an actual SVT engine whole?
I really appreciate your time in both reading this and replying, I am definately up a creek and, well I have no paddle and my cannoe has a hole in it.
Thanks again
