you have a couple options,

you can pull the motor and have it rebuilt

swap in a used motor from a junk yard

drop the transmission and pull the crank, replacing it with a new crank rods and bearings

if you are lucky you may not have scored the crank and you can replace the one bearing ang rod

or you can junk/sell the car

How do you Replace rod bearing?

If the bearing has not spun or seized, you drop the oil pan, take the rod cap off of the rod and put the new bearing in. The bearing is in two pieces, half in the rod and half in the rod cap. If the bearing has spun, you should remove the crankshaft and either have the rod journal polished or machined for a thicker bearing.


You blew a rod in your rodeo any recommendations?

Get a used engine and replace. Probably not worth repairing unless it's only a spun bearing and at that it's still probably cheaper to replace the motor. Get a used engine and replace.

How can you tell if you have spun a bearing in a small block Chevy?

That would require you to take the engine apart and inspect all the engine bearings to know for sure. It would be easy to notice a spun bearing.

Can you put a used piston in car?

There is no reason why you can't. If the rod bearing is still in it, you can tell if it has been spun. If the bearing appears alright, there should be no reason to have it checked. You would use new rings and a new bearing which are the parts that matter. You might even be able to use the old rings and bearing, but no one would. Too much chance of having a problem after it was put in.

Your car had a faint knocking noise which got louder when accelorating then it just wouldn't start until you added oil stabaliser but it still had a knocking sound?

Sounds like you might have blown the motor, thrown rod, spun bearing, etc. Drive it by a local shop, for something like that, it should be a free second opinion of whether or not its repairable.
