450 C threw a rod

Today, my 450 C threw a rod and punch a hole in the crankcase. After inframe rebuilting approx 30 hrs ago, I don't know what happened. Looks like the rod bolts broke from what I can see.

Anyways, anyone know of a good source for a rebuilt 4219 motor. What should I expect to pay? I really do not want to build another one.

Thanks, Bill

hi bill, did u reuse your rod bolts? i just took the 219 in one of my 450c's apart. a friend was over helping that has rebuilt many of them, and told me never use those rod bolts over again. as for a rebuilt motor, i am guessing 2 to 3k, probably less if u find a good used one.

No, I used new rod bolts. MY only guess is one worked loose. I hope I can find a used runner or a cheaper rebuilt. 3K is a little steep, I hope I can do better than that.

bill, u lookin for a 219 or a 219 with the turbo? i have a friend with a jd 410 backhoe, motor runs good, but the transmission case is cracked. i believe its a 219, i can ask if he wants to sell it if u are interested. i have a 219 block, just striped it for the crank, could sell u that if interested.

I wonder if the old motor can be saved? Although I have never used them, there is a Block and Head welder on Lenox Avenue that might give the old engine a chance. While it is down, and your looking, it might not hurt to give them or their competition a call. In todays throw away society, that is a dying business, but those guys have been there awhile (or at least the building has). Someone that has the right experience can give you a lot better idea on saving the old motor, but I have seen several motors with plated sidewalls where rods decided to find some fresh air.
Good luck with it,
David from jax

Rebuild if there is no crank damage ma bey .The biggest problem is finding all the block pieces .That backhoe engine will fit right in.Digitup.
