Looks like you deffinetly spun a bearing man, i would measure each jurnal and make sure they are to spec, Which by the way it looks its not going to be... GL man.

You might need to go with an oversized bearing to compinsate for the loss of material on the jurnal...Check into it you may be able to say it..

Sorry my spelling sucks..

judging by the brown crap on the casting of the head i would say lack of oil changes and it running low on oil caused the damage. i bet it can be repaired but since its a SOHC im sure you can find a good used one for 10 cents or so.
