I really dont want to have an engine failure
Russ pretty much summed it up. The rod stretches & the housing bore goes
oval. Then the inner edges of the parting faces of the bearing shells turn
into
oil scrapers, metal transfer begins & the journal picks up the bearing...
IF the crank isn't fubar, IF you got all the trash out, & IF the BE bore
isn't oval... you MIGHT be able to patch it... but mechanical DNFs really suck.
JMHO,
Glen
