Alright so I just spun the #4 rod bearing and I'm looking into rebuilding the motor, keeping it a 2.0L. The crank looks good so I'll probably have that professionally inspected and polished and I'll reuse that since a lot of people run the stock crank with no problems.

I'm already planning on a full ACL race bearing kit but I'm still debating the pistons and rods. The head was built before this happened so I don't need to touch that. I know this sounds stupid (and I don't need people asking me why I want to do this) but I would like to have the option (not an every day thing) of revving up to 10-10.5k. The head is already built to take it like I said.

I just need to know what is the best rod/piston setup to handle high RPMs. I'm really looking into the Manley Turbo Tuffs since I've heard nothing but good things about them but I'm not sure how well they handle high RPMs.

Thanks in advance!!

 

The Turbo tuff's are awesome, but you're likely going to want something lighter for that high of RPM. I would look into some of the solid aluminum rods.

Also the Manley Platinum pistons are also very nice.

 

Many companies offer rebuild kits. Buschur does, MAP does, AMS does. I would be surprised if the crank was still okay after a spun bearing. Most of these rebuild kits come with new cranks.
MUST replace your oil cooler, ensure all lines are clean of previous failure.
Turbo tuffs can handle 10K no problem. Your head is "built"? What cams, boost and seat pressure are your springs at, and at which installed height? Cam lift and coil bind are quite important. 10K rpm is for finishing a 1/4 mile, so I will assume big cams and big boost.

There is the Nascar way of engine building and the napa way. May be easier to buy a stock 2.0 from a member here
Hope this helps
