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 😃
