The rod and bearing...

 

[bNasty]

you should just replace the motor while youre at it

How did you exactly bend a rod exactly if you don't mind me asking?

Im guessing it has something to do with the turbo upgrade and no tuning solution, because it certainly wasn't the power output.

Knock sucks

You'll have to completely rebuild your engine.

It seems like he pumped to much boost into it but he ant telling us any thing really to help him. If he bent a rod USUALLY it means it hit something like a vapor lock or water lock. OR unless he put to much boost to it and it "crushed the rod" at its weakest point. But if it did hit something as in only the head, it would mean it probably has a bad rod bearing causing to much play and hitting the head or valves maybe even. If it has a bad rod bearing or not one at all, like I have seen, then you need a crank too and need to pull the motor any way in which you might as well rebuild the motor completely now......... Tell us how you did this exactly or if you heard knocking or any thing so we can help you.

I did almost the same thing except i broke the rod, sent the cap through the front of the block and put a massive hole in the back of the block with the rod. Im pretty sure i over boosted my engine. Thank god it was a stock 7 bolt. Did I mention I had ARP rods and mains.

The rod, the bearing, the head gasket, the oil, the bead of silicone around the pan gasket, and whatever bent the rod in the first place.

Do the swap.

Just do a full rebuild. Take the block and crank to a machine shop to be checked out first to verify everything is good. If it is, get pistons that are the next size up from the current bore and start completely fresh along with better rods.

will the galant engine work with the turbo

I'm with LiQUiDx......do it right the first time & be done with it.

 

[90talonTSiTURBO]

about how much would it cost for a full rebuild

 

[dave99gst]

depends on what you do yourself and what components you use.
