Message	If it was me i would yank the motor and just swap the rod with a new rod bearing. If you want to be less cheap... Pull all pistons and rods and re-ring all 6 cylinders with oem rings and get 6 new oem rod bearings. If it was me i would dingleberry hone it get aftermarket oem bore je11:1 pistons+ scat rods and put some boost and E85 on it.

(n/m) - Bernie (NoVA) 13:38:17 02/25/20 I can try again with a smaller amount of oil - Polishzx 14:01:56 02/25/20 I'll definitely try it, thanks for feedback - Polishzx 14:01:21 02/25/20 Agree.
