Spun a bearing - do I need to replace the rod?

I spun another rod bearing 3.75 KM’s into my maiden voyage. Aparently the crank surface was far more worn down then I had first expected (when I spun the bearing due to an oil leak last season). So, New crank, new bearings, but do I need to replace the rod as well? It’s scored from the bearing spinning, but its not a bearing surface. Will it crush and hold fine, or will the scores make it out of round and cause another bearing to spin?

Thoughts?

Have the block line honed and re-size all your rods for new bearings. I know a place that balences rotating assemblies for race engines. Com on Dave, spend lots of money :smiley:
