What is the cost to replace a Toyota Camry 2000 motor or engine rod?

Answer 1

If you're asking about a thrown rod, you can't just replace one rod. It's generally an indication of other problems and you'll need to rebuild the engine. Sometimes a rod will go through the side of the engine when it fails, then you have to buy an entire engine. If you caught the problem before it came off the crankshaft, you'll probably be able to get by with an engine rebuild. That means turning the crankshaft to make it round again. Generally, when a rod goes bad, the pounding against the crankshaft caused the crankshaft to be worn on one side, and it's no longer round again. If you just put in new bearings and replaced a damaged rod you'll have a problem within just a few miles and you'll need to do the job all over again. If you have the rods off, you'll need to pull the heads, that's just the way it goes, it can't be avoided. With the heads off you may as well have the valves and guides redone and the head machined, because it will cost a lot more if you have to take it all apart again. Beyond that, you're talking about checking to see if the engine needs to be bored and pistons replaced. Depending on what is needed, you're talking anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000, U.S. and possibly more.
