replace the engine ================== The engine would at least have to be removed, cylinder head removed, oil pan removed, and new bearings installed with rods. If you get that far, you may as well overhaul the engine with new rings, seals, bearings, valve job, resurface cylinder head etc.. Either that or yes, get another engine. Either way its a lot of work or even more money to have a shop do it. -Shaun

To check a flame rod, disconnect it from the control circuit and use a multimeter set to read resistance in ohms. Insert one probe into the terminal of the flame rod and the other probe to the metal rod itself. A good flame rod will typically have a resistance reading between 3 to 30 ohms. If the flame rod shows no continuity or a significantly high resistance, it may need to be cleaned or replaced.
The cost of fixing a thrown rod can vary significantly depending on the extent of the damage and the specific make and model of the vehicle. In general, repairs for a thrown rod can range from $2,000 to $4,000 or more, including parts and labor. It is recommended to get a professional inspection and quote from a mechanic to determine the exact cost for your specific situation.
A broken connecting rod usually calls for replacing the "short block" at the minimum. The motor most likely has damage to the crank and block. Either replace the bottom end or another motor. There is a possibility that it could be overhauled but I dont think its likely
