Hey whats up guys, well i bought a GSR block with a spun bearing. Only journal #3 is "scratched" well from what i can tell by running my finger over it. And i also have an eagle crank from a gsr which also spun a bearing. Now question is, is it worth trying to fix either or, or should i just buy another GSR crank? Thanks in advance. and any ballpark figures on how much it would cost?

 

an engine machine shop should be able to recut the crank then u use oversized bearings. what bearing spun, if it was a main bearing then the block needs to be line honed also. if it was a rod bearing then the rods need to be recut

 

if you live in upstate ny, i know a kick *** machinest in Johnstown with good prices

 

oh ok... it was a rod bearing which spun on both the eagle crank and the oem gsr crank. i was in yonkers new york, but im now in miami again. sounds good, thanks for the help man.

 

Well, most people on here dont like eagle cranks. I have no personal expirience and it may just a bandwagon thing but i would look into it. As for an oem crank its usually just easier and cheaper to find a used crank in good shape instead of repairing the one you have. And that would be one less thing to have to worry about during your build.
