A poor tune would burn the piston, but not bend the rod. Methinks this better be solved or rethunk before another lower end is installed.

Good luck.

Hey Coop,

Yes you can visibly see 2 rods are bent from lookin up into the motor with the oil pans removed. Im still awaiting to hear when the motor will be pulled and taken apart to see what else is wrong, so the car has been sitting for 2 weeks so far.
