that sux.  going forged is the best thing.  but if you decide to just do replacements, i have a low mileage set of OEM rods and pistons for cheap.

Man I know what you are going through, Just dropped a brand new Crate engine in Mine, after throughing a rod bearing.  Not what I wanted to spend my money on, and Just in time for the holidays.  Good luck.
