so i took the pistons out of the lq9 i bought last month to find that all 8 rods have spun bearings (most of them were fused together)

so rather than get mad and be pissed that i cant reuse my rods like i had intended i just assume buy all new stuff

i have a good crank from an ls1 that i started to build but it had a cracked block. (it lost #6 on a 150 shot at the track somewhere around 125k miles)

should i piece together a kit and get machine work done or buy a balanced rotating assembley and bore/hone to spec.

i havent busted out the bore gauge yet to see if it was going to be a .010 over block yet. the motor didnt seem to have to many miles on it as i could still read all the lettering on the tops of all the pistons quite easilly (no mechanical damage up top or on the skirts either) yes the rods have damage not only on the bearing surfaces but the sides aswell

i'm gonna price both ways out at work tomorrow and see what you guys say.
