ah ok.
i should apologize, because clearly a sample of one (your SINGLE experience with your car) is enough to extrapolate over the entire world of cars.
translation - if it worked ONCE for you, it should work EVERY time. :bloated:
the fact still remains. ask any reputable engine builder. if you replace rod bearings in a motor with a scored crank, it will not have the same longevity if you had the crank machined.

he didn’t say why he is replacing the bearings, if he is just replacing them for maint then it is no big deal. my engine was knocking really bad but the bearings did not spin and damage to the crank was minimal. Its not like
he is building a race car here and if it will get him another couple years out of it then just do it.
