DONT RUN IT!!!! if you spun a bearing and you run the motor after not very long it will be completely unsalvagable. At least after it happens the metal particals havent run threw the head and turbo (if your turbo motor) yet so those parts can be reused but if you run it for to long at some point the head turbo cams ect ect will get so scored up they will be easier to replace then rebuilt

It all depends on how much damage it has done to therest... the only way to tell is pull it all out and see.
