About 2 months after I got my GN I made a stupid mistake. In late August I decided to take on the challenge of replacing the timing chain, rear main seal, front seal, oil pick up, water pump, etc. Well, I started the project about 3 weeks before I went back to college and the farthest I got was pulling the entire motor apart and getting the timing chain on, but not the cover. Well, after going to college the car sat in my garage until late september with the oil pan and front cover, and valve covers off. In september my father decided to tow it to a shop and have them finish puttin it back together. Well, it's running but I'm really really scared that moisture could have gotten in the motor and could lead to rust and then well, I could throw a rod because of rust and an uneven surface or something. So, I sit here with $3000, and I'm wondering if I should have it rebuilt? I think it would be the safe thing to do. I don't think it would be wise to mod it and then BOOM. So, what are your guys thoughts? And if I decide to rebuild I will be looking to have a motor that can potentially hit high 10s/low 11s, so what besides the main caps and girdle and the basic rebuilding, should I do? If the rods are somewhat rusted where can I find stock replacements? Or where can I get some forged that aren't going to run me $1500? And should I get a forged eagle crank if that's rusted too? Or is it just cheaper to buy a new motor? Idk, I just need some advice.
