[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 16345304, member: 7795"] In just bending the rod, yes! Hopefully that’s all it is, and no other damage. By only bending the rod, the block and heads should have survived to see another day. He has the right idea to sleeve the block, but if the bore roundness are in spec and if there is enough thickness left on the PWTA lining (it is micro thin and can take the lightest of hone jobs), the block could be reused. I’m looking forward to his build, and my suggestion would be, if keeping the VMP Gen 3R, follow the lead of John Sr at Lund Racing. -J [/QUOTE]
