Although it may be easy in some cases to identify a blown rod, like the rod sticking through a hole in the engine, there is really only one way to know for sure. Pull the oil pan off and inspect the internal components.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on what you mean by 'blown'. If it is the cylinder head gasket or the core plugs that have blown then you probably can. If you have a connecting rod through the crank case then no you can't.

∙ 12y agoBlown is a general term. It can smoke real bad and still be fixable or just scrap metal. A piston can blow through the side of the block. The engine can seize from lack of oil. The block can crack and let coolant into the oil. The only way to know for sure is to tear it down and look at the parts.

How much does t cost to fix a blown engine rod?
Assuming you are talking about a connecting rod, this condition is serious. More than likely there was extensive damage done to enternal engine parts encluding the engine block. I don't know what year and model vehicle you have but I would consider a total engine replacement with a new, rebuilt or good used engine rather than attempting to repair the original engine. I can't give you an aprox price without more information.
Watery engine oil?
Water in the oil pan ( looks milky or creamy on the dipstick ) is indicative of a blown head gasket. If your head gasket is blown you may have warped the head, especially if the vehicle was overheated. The fix is to remove the head(s) and take it ( or them ) to a automotive machine shop to be inspected and possibly milled. While the shop is at it they should inspect the valves and replace any that are bad. When you get the head back you will need to reinstall it with new gaskets. This is a good time to replace your timing belt or chain ( and tensioners ) since you will have the thing apart anyway. If you continue to run the engine in this condition you will do serious harm to the engine.
