The failed intake gasket syndrome is probably what toasted this engine. It is past a simple rebuild at this point, it went from running without a knock to complete failure of at least one rod bearing. By the time I got home, the poor engine was making a real racket. My guess is that both the crank and rod are shot. I also need to replace the intake mainfold that broke when we fixed the gasket leak. I would actually consider replacing the bearings and intake manifold gaskets on a pulled motor that was complete, it would be quicker than rebuilding what I have. I have also looked at a remanufactured long block, but then I have to find another intake, and swap everything anyways. Since my son works at a dealership, I can get the goodguy price with a 12 month warrenty, so this next week we will start calling.
