    Tough to say. It is a different forging. The 95-97 rod is a F57E-AA and the 98-01 is a F87E. They both take the same rod bearing, the wrist pin diameter is the same, and I think the center to center...

    The locking washer is still there because it can't go anywhere. It's trapped between the oil pump and the block so that's good news as it's not floating around in the oil pan. It's tricky but you can...

    One of the problems that jumps out is trying to turn 7700rpms with a hydraulic cam. Those two numbers just don't jive. The motor might be spinning that high but it's certainly not making any power.
