well… i just may have lucked out… appears to be VERY minor if not no damage to the crank, connecting rod, and CR Cap… looks like i could smooth out the crank in Cyl 4 with a peice of emory cloth and put some standard size bearings in til my new motor is finished :hsdance: theres HARDLY damage on the crank. so i think im good ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/BearingsnCaps.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/BearingsnCaps.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/OhNoebearing.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/OhNoebearing.JPG) ---

I could do the SRT motor swap if i had the time and money… I’d rather just Build an N/A 2.4 from a stratus and turbo it using SRT internals and SRT turbo+ manifold. BUT, im currently building a new 2.0 for this car and hopfully putting in large cams… about this spun bearing: looks like i’ll have it back together and running by the end of the day :bigthumb: (I love how easy these motors are to work on!) ---

I just had to pull the front motor mount bracket and drop the pan, i can reach everything from down there. woot! couldnt find ANY place in town that had the bearings in stock… so i had to get them from advance and they ordered them from the warehouse, they’ll be here tomorrow morning ---

Thank you jesus for cast iron connecting rods!!! if they were alum. I’d probably be FUCKED and the rod would have been destroyed. everything is cleaned up underneath and the crank has no wear (Just peices of the bearing rubbed off on the crank, cleaned up easy). looks like the new set of standard size bearings will do the trick. car will be done after work tomorrow. 🙂 ---
