I made my email visible in my profile.  The downpipes look to be maybe 2" or so.  I'll meassure them.  There isn't much there other than the pre-cats and the pre-cats look identical to the ones on the 2.7.

I think it makes more sense to leave the 2.7 intake on the 2.7 bottom end.  If I was going to use the 2.5 ECU and harness on the 2.7, I would agree that swapping out the intake would make sense.

I tore into the bottom end of the 2.5 to get it unsiezed so that I could turn the crank to get at the converter bolts since I need it for the 2.7.

Here is what I found on rod journal #3:



A close up of the cap and upper bearing:



The oil pump was fine, but the pickup tube screen certainly appears to be a little on the clogged side...



There doesn't appear to be any other damage that I can tell, so a new rod and a polish of the crank journal just might get the engine back on its feet although a complete teardown would probably be a better bet.

The cranks turns by hand now, so I was able to unbolt the converter and flywheel, so I'm now ready to prep the 2.7 for installation.

Here you go JDMCRX.  The other side is very similar.

Thanks Heather!  I'm also very appreciative of the feedback I'm getting.  A week ago, I had never not so much as turned a bolt on a Suzuki.  I 4x4 with the best of them, but my choice of iron comes from within the US borders (current rig is a '02 Silverado 3500 duramax crew cab long bed w/ a 15000 Warn winch out front running BFG 235/85/16s ATs).

So you guys want pictures?  Well, here you go!

WARNING!  If you click on the "Full Rez" link below each pic, you'll get a 6.3 Mega Pixel version of the image (I'm using a Canon Digital Rebel).

Me and Rufus looking at the mess I've made (okay, Rufus is looking at the camera ;))

And here are several shots of the 2.5 from various anlges:

How often did you change your oil? Were you using synthetic? The motor sure looks sludged up.

It's VERY sludged up.  I just got married a couple of months ago, but the wife states that she had the oil changed at Jiffy Lube every 3000 miles.  Ironically, I did change the oil once, 1 month ago, and the old oil was blacker than the oil in my diesel truck!  No, I didn't use synthetic and I'm sure Jiffy Lube didn't either.

I do run synthetic in my other rides, so would you recommend that I switch to say, Mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30 in the 2.7?

Often time Jiffy Lube uses Penzoil.

Penzoil used to be the best oil you could get.  Once they lost the rights to the Pennsylvania crude oil reserves they started use a lot of paraffin (wax) in their oil.

Now it sucks.

I used penzoil once in my 2.0 Tracker and the inside went from looking shinny and new, to dull and brown. Also some shops won't change your filter if it's in a hard to reach/remove area but they will tell you they did >:(, did my own little experiment once and found that out. The only reason I take my vehicle to a shop is for state inspections and I watch them like a hawk.
