well its a built race motor. it costed me 5500 for a short block, head, head gasket and head studs.

 

so in a nut shell my engine is screwed? What exactly was that a picture of up top

 

his spun bearing. he took the oil pan off and thats what he found

 

this is even worse to find than a spun bearing, whats with the surge at idle in that video?
by the way once you spin a bearing youll never get a bearing to last for 10 seconds without turning the crank or replacing it, theres basically no tolerance for imperfections, once the rods beats around on it its out of round & the journal is scarred up and has to be turned if its not smeared up too bad to even be turnable

depending on how bad your situation is you could be looking at some big bucks to fix it.

 

Time for a rebuild

 

orrrr a 6 bolt lol

 

i had a bad IAC so thats why it was doing it.

 

A spun bearing isn't the end of the world. It's an easy fix for someone that knows what they're doing. You can do it with the engine still in the car if I'm not mistaken. BUT you have to know what you're doing. If I were in the position you're in I'd be looking at diong a bulletproof lower end build. Replace the crank, rods, and pistons with higher end performance parts. But that's just me.

 

thats what im saying


a spun bearing can be the end of the motor very easily though... Keiths stealth had a spun bearing and it trashed the turbos and heads BADLLLYYYYYYYYYY needed to buy a new motor\head\turbos too bad it just spun another bearing again though ouch!!
