Wow.... is all I can say.

[DeNoZZo]

So....What's next?

It's rebuild time... again.

I'm thinking of this-

DSM Graveyard - Your #1 Source for DSM Parts!

Anyone else have suggestions?

man I kinda know how you feel. When I bought my 92 GSX I spent 5 months getting all the previous owner's screw ups out of the engine bay. Ended up jumping timing because a "friend" left the pin in the timing actuator and put RTV all over the oil pump for some reason and got the main journal clogged. So all in all, i went through a whole motor and 2 more heads. It sucked, and to say the least, my newlywed wife was PISSED that I was spending all this money on a car she had never seen run.

BUT! When I got everything sorted out, she was a BLAST to drive. You'll get there again. Just try to take your time and get everything done correctly. And remember there's ALWAYS a consequence for your actions man. I'm not your mom or even a friend of yours, but you always gotta THINK BEFORE YOU LEAP.

So...all we got to do is the bottom end? Do we need to take the bare block to Dewar again?

Glad to see you're getting it running again soon.

More importantly, any thoughts on the cause of this?

I would figure out what the cause was before taking it to the shop. Did they mess up on a measurement and cause the failure? Did a journal get clogged from excess sealant?

I'll defintaly look into the cause. But for the next few months I'm probably just going to save up and do the build in a short amount of time. Rather than spending paycheck to paycheck on it being broke the whole time.

I may even just buy another car and keep the talon as a secondary toy. I'm still debating my options.

Have Jamie help you and buy a junker to use for the next few months.

bro sorry to hear about the engine. ive had it happen to me after a couple hundred miles , but mine was due to a faulty clutch, it detonated and spun mains instead of rods. from what ive read, no matter if they are oem new rod bolts or arps, u still have to get rods honed cause they are not going to line up like they did fom the factory. dont quote me on that, its just what ive read on here. good luck on your new build and keep your head up. it happenes to the best of us.

jesse

I never did have them checked but I plastigauged it and they were all within spec.

I just tapped the old rod bolts out and tapped new ones in.

hey when ## re rebuilding it if you still have balance shafts in it do those bearings too, they relativly cheap and ## oil pump is gonna send garbage straight to them.

Balance shafts were eliminated already

I had the same thing happen to me at about the same timing on the motor. It all turned out to be my fault. I mis matched two of my rod caps. caused me to lose the crank and two rods but only shingled one rod bearing. Pay attention to rod and cap paring and don't let anyone interupt you when assembling.

They were not mis-matched. The marking from the marker was still on there.
