I'm trying to figure out what I should do with this short block.

It has 205k miles on it, a reground crank and bearings with 30k miles. It has one bent rod, in cylinder #1. When I took it out of service, it did not use any lubricating oil- none. I haven't pulled any pistons to inspect, they are all standard, crowns look perfect, bores look great with clear uniform crosshatch readily apparent. A quick check shows bores to be round, but I would need to spend a little more time setting up a bore guage to appropriately characterize their cylindricity.

Should I just haul this to the scrap yard, or what?

thanks!
