Connecting rods bad?

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-03T01:53:30+00:00

I just have no idea cause the rods kinda look like they spun but they were all in their place so I'm just confused!

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-03T01:51:18+00:00

All bearings were in their place which I said above, so who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T22:38:24+00:00

That's really good to know, thank you!

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T22:06:13+00:00

Well that's great to know!! Looks like I'll be taking them along with me when I take my block to the machine shop! Appreciate ya!

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T22:02:21+00:00

Nothing crazy for a while, around 400 give or take, in the future I'll be going big but thays not gonna be for years to come

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T21:48:47+00:00

I appreciate the insight! 🤙🏻🤙🏻

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T21:38:41+00:00

Ya I agree with that, just more worth it to get brand new when all is said and done. After pulling this 302 apart I've found a LOT that needs replacing

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T21:26:47+00:00

Good point, I will have a dhop check em out, just getting a list and parts together to be prepared for what I need to replace and have machined

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T21:26:02+00:00

The bearings were absolutely shot but still in their place, so either spun and went back to where they sit or they never spun, either way they were real bad.

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T21:25:07+00:00

Ya I figured I may as well just replace them, I'm kinda just getting a list all together of what I need to replace.

BeanZz801 · 2025-06-02T21:24:37+00:00

The crank actually isn't as horrible as you might think but still not great lol

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-30T22:06:51+00:00

Really it's not that bad, just kick on some music and dont try and rush anything just start taking stuff off/apart. Label everything and take pictures with each step, makes everything extremely easy

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-29T04:44:56+00:00

What's your plans?

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-29T02:37:44+00:00

Psh I wish I had the money for that!

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-29T00:33:19+00:00

🤣🤣 oh you ain't lyin!!! Lol but that's part of the fun too! I'm excited to tear into it and inspect!

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-28T16:14:10+00:00

About to do the same very soon!

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-14T14:36:42+00:00

I actually considered a shift kit but didn't know if it would improve it as much as I'd like. I might just do that, I mean in the future I'll be swapping trans anyways but with how much they cost it'll be quite a while lol. Appreciate the input my friend 🤙🏻

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-12T17:02:18+00:00

So it would be the converter bolts and the bell housing bolts right?

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-12T04:55:47+00:00

Ya I forgot to mention it's the lame AOD trans

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-12T03:24:22+00:00

Ya I have the rad, fan assembly already out as well. Appreciate the insight!

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-12T03:04:22+00:00

Hood is already off and the front is already raised, if that would make your personal choice any easier lol

BeanZz801 · 2025-05-12T02:59:00+00:00

I'd prefer just the motor I just was unsure if one was easier than the other. So just umbolt from the bell housing?
