Yeah I was thinking it was better to just repair the bottom end (I am really praying it is just the rod bearings and not requiring a new crank, etc.). I figured it is better to spend upfront so that I can have an easier time to re-sell it rather than try and sell it as-is.
Any idea what I am looking at in terms of labor alone to replace the rod bearings? Is replacing the crank a lot more work whiles in there? Can this be done by dropping the K member or does the engine have to come out to do this bottom end repair?
