What did the engine come out of? Splashing through a big puddle and inhaling water will/ can bend a rod/ hydro lock an engine also! Any history of this being possible, or nobody's gona say anyway.
I think you will be fine, wouldnt worry about the crank, the rod was the weak link as you see.Like I said. My local machine shops are backed up for weeks otherwise I would take it to one but if I can do it accurately myself I will.
Does anyone know of an accurate way to check the crank for straightness besides what I have already done? I don't have access to a lathe but I suppose I could rig up some sort of jig and dial indicator. Maybe a straight edge across the length of the crank at the journals? Remember.....previous owner said he heard the engine running fine before it was pulled but I only have his word.
It would if the ecm has misfire data. Would be nice to scan a running engine before its pulled.I bet it would show up on a scan tool. My Solus shows misfire data, even though it doesn't feel like a miss or skip. You probably wouldn't have noticed.
Look at the main bearings for wear on one side or the other. Ssssprobably straight.Does anyone know of an accurate way to check the crank for straightness besides what I have already done?

Hey Hoe,Hey ham.....I believe you mentioned before but the factory magnum slugs weigh the same as the H116CP's so no balance needed. Going with STD bore, small valve EQ heads and .028 head gasket. Should give me around 10.1:1. Sound good?
