Recently, I got screwed out of a TON of money and can't afford an H22/H23 swap for my Accord so I have to put the stock engine back together (for the time being) or try to part it out. So, I was just wondering what causes an engine to spin or throw a bearing? I was told if I put my engine back together, I might throw a bearing ... is that true?

*** FOR SALE POSSIBLY ***
I know this isn't the right section for this, but technically the engine isn't completely for sale yet, so I didn't want to start a FS thread for it. If anyone needs parts from a 95' F22B1 Engine with roughly 110,000 miles then let me know. I also have an extra 95' F22B1 head to sell. Like I said, I would rather part out the engine than put it back together. I can get pictures if anyone needs them.

 

when you spin a bearing it is most always caused by lack of lubrication. IF you ever have blown a head gasket and coolant got into the oil, chances are you will eventually spin a bearing.

When you reassemble your engine make sure that you use engine assembly lube and that all of your parts are within specs.

 

Spun a bearing: a situation from which a connecting rod or crankshaft main bearing literally welds itself to it's corresponding crank journal from excessive heat from lubrication loss.
It can be caused by:
1) Lack of Lubricant
2) Loss of Lubricant Pumping Pressure
3) Contamination
4) Insufficient oil clearances
5) Lubrication break-down from excessive overheating
6) Installing new bearing inserts against damaged crank journals.

Include with all that's been mentioned by YeuEmMaiMai, "Inspect the crank journals for damage and scratches and either discard or regrind the crankshaft if these are found"
