[QUOTE="2000wa250, post: 648128, member: 3399"] Like they said, do it right once, or keep doing it. If you're dead set of pulling the pan and swapping the cryo'd rods in, throw new rings in along with a cylinder hone. If you dont want to throw rings and hone the cylinders, then do not crack bottom end. No point in breaking the seal on the rings for fresh bearings and rods if you're not going to do it right. With that fuel, I would second the spare engine/block idea. Have it tuned to limit torque, and tell your tuner that you want the power in the upper RPM's to keep cylinder pressures down. It wont feel as fun to drive, but it will keep it alive for awhile. Basically just buy yourself enough time to build your spare motor. Once you have the bottom end built and balanced, pull your engine, swap everything off it, and run the piss out of your built one, knowing you took your time and did it right. Personally for me, its not a matter of time down, or money, its a matter of piece of mind. No point in spending all this money on injectors, turbo, hpop, studs, springs, etc and then skimp on the bottom end because you do not want to throw new rings in it with your "new" rods. Do it right and do it once. [/QUOTE]
