Found one teeny tiny little nick in the journal. Got the journal polished, nick removed, cleaned. Blew brushed and blew again the oil passage in the crank. ALL the rod bolts replaced "again" since they are one time use type. Putting the pan back on and will see if it runs or blows.
 
Duramax project from a few years back. Bad injector melted a piston. Bought it with the engine half disassembled. There's a lot of parts in one of those motors.....

Had an engine do that exact same thing on a 5400 John Deere . Like you cleaned cleaned and cleaned some more put new bearings in and it was fine after that
 
You'll probably be fine . Just be thankful you didn't have it on the dyno at full hp and that thing decided to let go
 
My contractor bought an airplane on Ebay and a friend of mine (instructor) flew it here in MI from eastern NY. While the paperwork was up to date on the engine (passed a recent annual check) the owner may have flown it once with the cooling duct plugs in place. My friend said it used a bit of oil but otherwise ran fine. These were two of the pistons we took out (200 CID Continental).

I would hate to be in the air with pistons like that. If I knew the pistons were like that I would be walking or crawling, anything but flying. LOL
 
Strange thing was; He said it was running a little rough for 10 minutes after takeoff and he almost turned back but then it
smoothed out. The rest of the story is; The airframe was the best (not only no corrosion but everything was solid and looked
like new) I had ever seen on a used plane. After my neighbors helped him replace the pistons (and a subsequent inspection) the
engine runs better than any I have seen and uses only a quart of oil every 18 hours (almost unheard of).
 
I have never seen one of those torn down, but dang! There is a lot of "stuff" in those! I stay away from working on stuff with that much electronics. I have seen JD pistons that looked very similar to those with a bad injector as well

Of course....
The Cub is starting to come back together. We bought the tractor at an auction where it was on owners project list, got it running good used it for a couple years when it developed a rattle and had no power(even for a cub) Tore it down bearings were badly grooved, the crank was JUST salvageable turned to 30 under.

Pistons are back in in this shot.

The Hole in the Block of the 504, blew rod through it when out tilling one year.

The engine we pulled out of the T6, crack in side of cylinder 1 wall

The sleeve out of above engine, the chunk broke off when/after pulling sleeve.

Had the engine out of the 2-135 to have the Over/Under rebuilt. Trying to remember why the PTO shaft was out of the 1550. Must have been when I spun a main bearing and had the engine out.

Ford 8n engine block after removing sleeves. Ran great, getting oil in the coolant. Owner decided not to fix and is now trying to part it out.

I bought a 1650 parts tractor and the diesel engine had a wrist pin failure. The rod smashed the injection pump on the way out! I also have a early 1650 engine that spun a bearing and think about rebuilding but my wife thinks paying are bills is more important!

My 427 Chevy out of my El Camino drag car.Let go at the dragstrip,wristpin walked over in the cylinder bore,jammed and pulled the piston apart.Cracked the block and head,about the only thing I salvaged was the camshaft.

I tried to find the connecting rods I removed from a Hagie sprayer I repowered, but couldn't find them. The owner called and said his sprayer was knocking, but drove it home 4 miles at an idle so as not to hurt it (riiiiight). Made it home and I went and looked at it. Fired it up, knocked terrible, shut it down. Pulled oil plug, about 2 drops came out. I told him it was junk, trailer or tow it to my shop and e how bad it was. He told me he wanted me to repower it and if it would run, he was going to try to drive it the 8 miles to my house. The field where it started knocking was only 4 miles from my house. I told him if he was going to try it, fill it to the top with used oil. He made it about halfway to my house when it broke a rod off, but kept chugging along. Then lost a second one that went out the block. It barely had enough power to move on its own now. When the third rod broke it was done. It bent and wedged in the main webbing in the block and stopped it cold. It had a 318 Chrysler engine. I tore it apart just to see what it looked like, I have never seen an engine that damaged! I thought I still had the rods and rod pieces from it, but I may have thrown them away.

I have so many, but one really stands out for me, my 1030 project. Bad engine, bad trany gears, bad parts in the rear end. But my favorite pic is the last one, the factory original air filter.

My 1420 IH combine broke the main axle housing just as I finished wheat harvest about 10 years ago....In a few minutes I would have been out on the road at 18 mph..

Wish I had a picture of it, was in Reno Nevada cummins a guy pulled in with a rear engine cement mixer making a heck of a racket. Service manager walked over looked through the block, guy said I didn't think it was going to hurt it anymore to drive it over here since its still running. LOL Had a ten inch hole one side four inch on the other side. N14 cummins

Allis Chalmers 100 series grill latches are known to fail...I had a safety wire on this one, but was no match for the apple tree branch when I was running the 8' bush hog. No wonder they are over $400 if you can find one....
 

Had prostate surgery two years ago and a friend was running my Allis G cultivator while I was laid up...guess he thought the 1942 tractor had a synchronized tranny LOL.
 
My son bought a 1030 Case that had a stuck engine. I pulled the heads off and found that someone had pulled it while in gear and dropped the clutch. The stuck piston and sleeve pulled the top of the sleeve off and pulled the rest of the sleeve down into the bore. Had a heckuva time getting the sleeve and piston out......

Quality fix on the oil pump, huh?? The owner drove it after his sil did this fix. Rod bolt broke and knocked the distributor off the side of the block. Can't imagine why.....

Eldon,you have very RARE A-C G,because they didn't start making them until 1948.Serial number 6 was the first one listed by A-C.
 
Sometimes bad cranks happen to good people.
This is from a 3400 Ford diesel that I bought and parted out. The seller didn't know what was wrong with it. "It just went bang and stopped."
