Well… We got the oil pan off tonight and took off 2 of the rod caps that we could easily access…
Here were the results…
Here are pics of the crank…
And here are shots of the bearings
This one here you can see the great oil hole
This one here the bearing seems to be mushroomed out.
General Shots
yikes…
Looks like something wasn’t done correctly. I would say it is time to pull that engine out and I will show you how to go through it correctly and put together a solid engine
ugh, that sucks man. but yeah i would say it needs resurfacing.
holy shit! and i thought my crank and bearings were bad…eikes! Dos, to be honest, at this point id just get a new crank. you’re prob gonna have to have it machined down to the point where you’re gonna end up having to use oversized bearings, and i wouldnt recomend that.
^ i was hoping that wasnt the case, but i agree to be honest. i was gonna tell you just buy a damn shortblock but i didnt want to sound like an ass
i bet $10 that it blows up again, and i want my winnings passed thru the future hole in the block
I wouldn’t reuse any of those parts. Get new rods and crank, or a whole new SB…
Then maybe u can beat Tauruses 
OOOOOWW OUUUWWWWW OOOOUUUUCCCHHHH
Why is all this bad stuff happening to you?
I would answer that question and go from there.
Will the re-build be semi reliable or money out the window?
You can’t use that crankshaft unless you want to replace bearings every weekend or so. Lets get a game plan together and I will help you execute it correctly
christ man. before it was kinda fun teasing you. now i just feel bad.
best of luck.
Price: $ 2299.00 
ouch.:jawdrop:
Yeah, as J&J says below me It is not bad all things considered but I am broke. so I still eek.
Honestly not that bad considering machine work, parts, bearings, fasteners, etc.
Now add to that his cylinder head, a nice Cometic MLS gasket and some good ARP head studs and we have a winning bullet proof 2JZ-GTE
How many miles were on this engine after the new rods and pistons were installed?
the upgraded internals have about 1700 on them IIRC
If this is the case when did the knock start occouring? Do all the bearings look like this…I imagine by now they do but…is any rod completely missing a bearing.
Curious if you were seeing knock and subsequently pounded a bearing out…If there was an assembly error it would have showed itself real quick… within 100 miles easy.
If you drove it like that you will need to machine the crank, and resize the rods…
DO NOT MACHINE THIS CRANK, or any import crank for that matter, most places cannot replace the fillets and will not case harden the crank afterword.
If you are gonna do another engine…buy a prebuilt short block and turn yours in for a core.
answers for carnut …
knock started shortly before he raced the turbo sho, maybe around the 1300 mile mark
they only know about the front 2 bearings so far …only the shetmetal “oil sump” of the oil pan is off yet
yes he drove it like this … and raced it like this
i told them earlier today to measure all the rods … i was told that wasnt going to happen
bearings were supposedly tight to the crank, and loose in the rods
