Are you sure you're installing them correctly? Are you using plastigauge and checking the clearances when building the motor? Are you buying bearings sized for each section? You're using Honda bearing correct? Poor lube would mean that you're running seriously low on oil, which I'd hope isn't the case.

wow that really sucks ***, but you're only going to spin a honda bearing due to shitty lubrication. Most of the time oil is leaking out of the main seal so its probably a good idea everytime you do a teardown to replace ALL of your seals.
No point in paying later for cutting corners.

Re: why do i keep spinning bearings (mattspivey)
most likely wrong size bearings(big) which will give you too much clearance who ever put your lump together maybe slaped any bearings with out checking the clearances with plastic gauge or precision tools (best method). live and learn.
