So I should be able to use the old connecting rods right

I would just put in another used engine.

If you're set on rebuilding the crank and rods need to be checked by a machine shop, there's a good chance they have damage. The block and head should also be cleaned to get out any metal shavings from the bearing.

It cheaper to do the rebuild than any of the replacements I've found

Engine should be sub $500 all day. Rebuild will be at least double that

And that's assuming it works unlike some other users we've seen here.

Other than replacing other parts the complete overhaul rebuild kit is only $324 and ill do all the labor my self that's not a problem plus I've already got a new rear main seal, egr, vtec solenoid, ecu with wiring harness, and a vtec cylinder head

No what about it cause I've got the ignition switch and key that goes with the ecm as well

 
Rep Power: 367

Why clean it might not replace it it's a very low price item they range from a $1.27 to $19.99

Realistically speaking what's the probability mean connecting rods are done for because I'm having major issues finding replacement connecting rods I do not want to go with used one's

Take them to a machine shop. It’s not worth reusing them blindly.

So if their not reusable will they charge me for checking them or nah

 
Rep Power: 125

Of course. They'll be taking the time to do it. If you go to a shop, they're going to charge you for their time. It should be no more than probably 1 hour of labor though.

If you don't understand the value of a machine shop, then just slap everything together and move on with your life

You cannot cut corners when rebuilding an engine, unless you'd like to rebuild it again soon.

I'm not trying to cut corners when I do something I so it right that's why if I can't use the ones I have then im wanting to replace them with new ones was just curious what the going rate on having the rods checked out

Depends on the shop, call the ones in your area
