Default Jason's old car

Well here it is. I finally got my hands on it. As far as I know it went from Jason to three people before I bought it. It's been beat and abused. It had a bad rod knock and I suspected a rod bearing being shot.



Some of the ghetto stuff going on from previous owners.





So I pulled the motor to tear it down and see the damage.





Everything looked good other than one of the rods had no rod bearings. At all. There wasn't even any sign of them in the oil pan. Not sure where they went...



Crank looks good considering there was no rod bearing.



Rod even looks good for how bad it knocked...



All tore down ready to go to the machine shop.

Wow, no rod bearing? This is the first I have heard of a lower end failure of a D24T. How did the rest of bearings look like?

Everything else looked good. Mains, rods, pistons, and cylinders all looked good. Sending the block out to be hot tanked and have everything checked. I wonder if there is a plugged oil passage which spun the bearing? Idk. Hoping to get away with just polishing the crank, new rings and bearings. Don't know if that's going to happen.

I would suspect a bad injector spring on the one cylinder that had no bearing, the bad or broken spring in the injector would cause it to be overly advanced in that one cylinder, thrashing that bearing. Or if IRC Jason had a heck of a time getting that engine primed with oil after being rebuilt, maybe that bearing was damaged long ago..

I would like to use a Cat fuel filter like Jason used but the threads are different size. Can you look and see what Jason used to get it to work?(pic's)

Thanks
