so i've finally had the time and set up to take this engine apart! i just finished it was fun. i think i've decided to just build it stock. but i have a question when i took apart the bottom end the # 6 connecting rod was quite loose and there was nothing left of the bearing. the #5 bearing was almost demolished as well. and the crank is scored and damaged on that side as well. is this all caused by the loose connecting rod or are there other factors that could be involved in causing the damage. and also is it bad to try and have a machine shop fix the damaged crank? will it make it weaker?
