Thru a rod in the 70s once in Redding California. Did not have much money being in the service and returning to the base. Found a Junk Yard just out of town and this old guy said he could help me out. I dropped the pan, pulled the head to replace the rod and he hooked a set of rollers to the rear wheels to turn the drive line with. Put it in gear so the Crank would turn. He bolted this grinder that sorta looked like a drill motor to the pan bolts and the grinder followed the Rod around in the block as the engine turned to re/grind the journel. Here charged me $25.00 for the used rod and re grind I bought a set of gaskets did all the other work and ended up repairing it for less then $50.00 complete. Never forget that guy I think he was having fun doing it and being a soldier he cut me some slack on the price. Drove that Dodge Slant 6 Panel back up to Fort Lewis, Washington with out a problem and for several years after that! Those were the good old days they won't even look at a car for less than $50.00 now let along pervide parts and fix it to!! Mark H.
