so, I blew a connecting rod apart, and it destroyed my crank, and I havent looked into much else closely, but it seems like my heads are fine. does anyone have a block with good crank/ rods? or just a crank and rods? or what can I do to get it back on the road again? I found a small peice of block chipped from the rod hitting it, but it seems small and not significant.

There's a brand new shortblock in the parts shed for $2,500.

My whole car was 800.00, thats just too much for my wallet, I'm paying for school and have a super tight budget, If parts are that much, I'll have to sell or part out what I have..

No they're not that much I was just lettin you know (not knowing your budget) that there is a brand new complete shortblock ready to bolt heads to that wouldn't need any work done to it. For a used shortblock you're looking at 300 on the low end and probably $500-$600 on the high end.

yeah, I mean I wish I could get a new block, and not worry about anything after that, but I just have to get rid of it unless I can find something. thanks for the info though!

okay you never say where you are located at. state ways.

if you are close enough I may be able to help you out. have an engine that the bearings are shot. but it still turns and should be a good rebuild core. am able to turn the crank but you feel the play in the parts.

so that is why I ask where you are located. this will still take a week atleast. engine is located up at house. 100 m iles each way.

good luck with the sale. be well, Bepa

I have a ej22t crank with the rods still on it, $100 shipped.

Also, EJ22 crank and rods are forged parts as well, so they don't have to be from a turbo block.
