good evening everyone, ok so I've been a mechanic for 4 or 5 years now but I have a couple of questions on rebuilding my engine. First off all I was just cruising along (-10 on the boost gauge) when I had a massive turbo surge (how? idk...) and Fuel cut at 55 or 60 mph and it fell on its face hard..... REALLY FU*KING HARD and there was a very loud consistent tick from the head or block. Well when I got it ripped apart there were two veins from the turbo missing. So I was like.... Huh... I then proceeded to pull the head off my block and to my surprise... There are no bent valves, no turbo veins, all of the cam lifters are in the green zone and are not out of adjustment. Hmmmm wrist pins?.... Let's check. Nope four bent rods.
Ok so long ass story shorter I ordered Eagle Rods with the 22.5mm wrist pins and the 87.5mm wiseco pistons
Along with the stock clevite rod bearings.
Now my questions are.
1. Will the stock rod bearings mount up and work with the eagle rods?
2. there was no scoring on the crank and the rods did not have any play on the cran,k will the stock rod bearings have enough meat on them with the eagle rods to fit snug on the crank and not spin the bearings.
3. according to the website the eagle rods are designed to fit on wiseco pistons, is this true or to I have to do some machining to the rods?
I usually don't ask these kind of questions but I had very little time to do my research on all of the measurements because it has to be back together and running by next Thursday, because I'm leaving for a road trip. Kind of an emergency. And last
4. I bought the (upgraded) FTG billit k04 turbo on eBay.... (Not my usual first choice but I strapped here people) does anyone have anything to say about the FTG turbo?? I also heard there a tad bit bigger true or false? I couldn't find any hard data on the stock turbo sizes, compressor wheel, ya know inducers/exducers... Any help would be appreciated.
