I've spun 2 rod bearings on my '94 SC and I am doing a short block rebuild while I'm at it. I've got ALL of the parts needed except for one connecting rod. Unfortunately, only one new one was available and I needed two.
#1: If I find a good used connecting rod and matching cap here on the SCCOA site, or where ever, does it matter if I get one from any of the other cylinders in an engine or is it necessary for it to be from the same cylinder as the connecting rod that went bad in my engine?
#2: And, from what I understand, the connecting rods are better in '94 & '95 engines, than in previous years. Is that correct? And, does it matter what year connecting rod ('89-'95) that I get?
#3: Any hints on things I should be sure of when doing the rebuild and installation, such as shoving grease into the new oil pump (BTW, what kind of grease should I use?), etc?
Thanks for your help.
