Well, I had a B18c bottom end with a b16 head in my EG.

Ok, long story short I spun a rod bearing in the #2 Cyl. It spun so epic-ly it shot out the side of the bearing, and chewed up the crank on that part.

Should I even try to save the crank? It has some pretty decent marks on it, however I can't afford to buy a new crank so it's pretty much my only option. If I can't do much about it I'll have to put it all up for sale.

how bad is it "chewed"? A little scratching can be taken down, but very deep and you need a new one. If you can get a good picture, post one. I've seen cranks for sale under $100. And you'll need a new/different rod. I have a couple extra stock rods with pistons on them, I could sell you one fairly cheap if you can get that crank micropolished or find a different one.

It's not ideal, but you can take some wet emery cloth and polish the journal with the crank still in the motor if it's not too bad. Then depending how much you have to do, you may need an oversized bearing. At the very least, it could buy you some time.

Well for the most part, it isn't too bad. But there is one REALLY deep gash, I really can't get any good pictures because my friend has my D300, but when I get it back I'll take some.
