noobish question, if you have spun a bearing, is the block usually still useable? what parts are normally damaged if this happens? i realize it could be anything, but i have no way to get into it myself and figure out what is f'ed and what is reusable. thanks.

i know the crank is usually damaged and needs to be replaced or sent to a shop.

 

blocks are re-usable with spun bearings, the only time you cant is if the rod bolts snap and the rod start bashing around inside

get a new crank and get in balanced with new bearings and a new rod if necessary and make sure all clearances are within spec. put some new rings in and you will be good to go
