So, this is what a ruined rod bearing looks like.

Now I need someone with some experience to take a look at everything else so I know what else needs to be replaced. To my inexperienced eye, the pistons and cylinders look fine. Hopefully that's the case, meaning I can just have the crank cleaned up, get some new rods and bearings, and get this thing back together.

But even if that's all that needs to be done, I still need to have everything hot-tanked and assembled properly... which I don't think I can do myself. Then there's the whole pile of work getting the motor back in the car with all the rest of the stuff that needs to be done for cooling. I don't think I'm making the Sept time trials.
