Rod didnt break from "too much power". It was most likely from a few possible culprits. One possibility is that you were washing so much fuel past the rings into the oil that it thinned out and spun a rod bearing so catostrophically that it got tight and the resistance got the best of it and the rod quit fighting and said peace out. Another possibility is that you didnt get all the coolant out of the oil pan after pulling the head and that thinned your oil and caused the same situation as above. Another possibility is that a timing compnent broke and valves made contact with pistons but also at the same time (and only because 99% of the time the valves will give way before the rods) the loose timing chain got caught on something and tried to stop the rotating assembly....this scenario is very unlikely but im bored and wanted to type it 
I feel like there was another one I was thinking of but I'm too tired to remember lol

thanks for reminding me i need to check my oil again, i used 6 quarts of oil and my dip stick showed a quart low so I threw in one more quart. I usually run 6.5-7, just trying to find the right level so I dont have extra oil in the pan unnecessarily.

I feel like there was another one I was thinking of but I'm too tired to remember lolI think since the car was being tuned for these ID1000 its almost like his tune who ever it is didn't have a good starting point for these injectors.
Anyways 574 get a block and some of mrb sleves a set of stock rods and some diamonds and get that bitch back on the road.
Sell Ur tvs and ID1000s to pay for it

I ran about one tank of E through the car. After the head swap I changed the oil after about 50 miles of driving so the coolant should have been out... As for selling all my ****, I think I've decided I'm just gonna get a loan and rebuild rather than go back to stock

Mr.B For the win. Folks detonation kills these motors. Runaway detonation is the right description, and you cant get off the gas pedal fast enough, the damage is done. Knock sensors have to see knock to work. If detonation runs away, its TOO LATE!

Good luck, building my block I used mrbelvedere sleeves and he installed the sleeves and sourced a block to put them in (ups broke 2 of them, so I had way more money in a block than was needed), money-wise I would go with mrb sleeves or buy that cavalier guys stuff in the for sale section and assemble it yourself. If you have the budge with a loan get a zzp gen 3 block or have zzp assemble it if you dont feel comfortable with the build.
Anyway good luck man.
