Jeebus Rob! Talk about pouring salt on the wound!
I'm actually pretty happy that the engine lasted this long considering its a stock bottom end that regularly saw 30 psi and 9000 RPM. It has lived almost 3 years beat on hard by the likes of me. |

Sorry... I couldn't resist.
 Sounds like it's time for some forged pieces and parts anyway.

Crate motor? You better be talking about a small block chevy. It's cheaper to rebuild it with forged pieces than buy a new shortblock from Mitsubishi.
In my personal opinion, some Eagle H-Beams, Wiseco pistons, ARP main studs, Clevite 77 bearings, and a knife-edged and balanced stock crank would be a good start. At least, those are the things that will be going in mine if "Rod" comes knocking on my door.
