I'm going to replace all of the rod bearings and pray it holds until 3L time. Any recommendations while I'm down there?



Are you trying to kid yourself?! With a blown bottom end your wasting your time if you think just fitting bearings will get some more life out of the engine. The crank is shot as are the rods that spun the bearings. Fitting new bearings to a crank and rods in that state will last....30 sec's tops!
