Default Bent Rod
Ok guys I have a bent rod in my 318,. Where do I go from here,fix just the one cyclinder for now or wait until I can rebuild the whole thing, or go to the salvage yard and buy a used one? Thanks

Trouble is, what ELSE did the rod take with it when it failed? Did the crank journal get bunged up?

'Nother question would be: WHY did the rod fail?
