You DO know that's a misquote, right?
That rod looks like it's seen better days LOL.  That cylinder isn't too hacked up?

good god those rods r tore up! i'm about to pull my 2.8 out to replace it with a SBC. it's got 153k on it. i wasn't originally gonna do anything but scrap it, but now i've got to pull it apart and see just how bad things are. it's got a nasty valve tap now, but if ur rods r that bent i wonder what mine r gonna look like.

replacing the bearings and cleaning the entire block...I'm beefing up the top end and with 180,000 miles on that engine I really don't want to take any chances. So I'm rebuiling the entire thing.
