my rod and bearing went out on my 89 240. i can get the car to start and you hear the rod slap like all hell so i know i havent scesed the motor. would i be able to just replace the broken pices and be good or am i screwed no matter what???

your not screwd yet!..but your close im thinkin..donot run it anymore ..you run the risk of throwin a rod out the side...this is what needs to be done..

#1) the block has to come out of the bay man..no matter what.#2.) you need to disassemble the engine so you can inspect the pistons/rods/crank/girdle.

#3) if you find that the bearing on your crank or rod has "spun" and left gouges on the serface of the journals..then you have 2 options..

A.) have the journals "Line Bored" to fix the issue and run over size bearings.B.) scap the block and gut the internals for a new block..those are your options..good luck.
