If it ends up being a rod knock, there are lots of good take-out piston/rod/sleeves out there. I know Todd Pepmeier has a good set for sale along with a stock crank, in the event the crank is toast. I have a couple of dozen take-out sets if Todd's are sold. Cranks are nitrided & tough so there is a good chance it may have survived. A new set of rod bearings is only $40.00 and you may only need to put in one replacement piston/rod assy.

Let's just hope it not a spun main brng or a broken valve. That can be a bit more expensive, especially if the head is damaged very bad.

Figure out what is hurt. You'll get a lot of support from the Registry Forum members.
