Mother f**k. I just got call saying i have a hole in my engine. This means i threw a rod through the block. Awesome. Now i have no clue what to do. Either i have to quickly go find a new motor get it to machine shop to get bored and honed to the right specs. Followed by buying new parts im going to need. I will most likely not have this done by halloween. Meaning waiting several more months till tune date. Or my next option is to sell.

Anyone know if its possible to get fj distributor rod anywhere? Their site is down and last i saw they were recovering from the robbery still. I would rather have another i beam. If not im no longer sure what rods to get. My compression will be bumped down if i go with eagle. I believe same with scat rods. Need help so i can hurry up and get to ordering

loosing compression wont be a big deal. add more boost to make up for the loss in CR... it will make it easier to tune as well.

i say go eagle rods...

Not that I know of. The thieves put them completely out of business from what I heard.

lose a bit of low end, gain a good ammount of high end power, or have no bottome end... literally.
seems like an easy choice to me lol.

good luck with the new build bro.

The inside of that block is likely beat to s**t. Make sure to have it checked by a reputable machine shop!
