Reply to "So, how bad is it going to be?"

George PAdmin.

You've got to pull the motor, you have a rod bearing that was squeezed pretty damn hard & is probably ruined, the rod journal needs inspection, and the connecting rod could be bent. Your piston may also be damaged beyond the point where it is safe to continue using it.

It is easier to pull the heads once the motor is removed, so why torture yourself, pull the motor.

Both heads MUST come off & the valves, retainers & keepers replaced, or else this may happen again.
