I just pulled my motor apart and found 1,2,3, and 4 all had spun bearings. Number 2 actually fused the 2 bearings together. The car was running great, had great oil pressure (50+ lbs cold), and was quiet. Did a WOT run and something didn't feel right, looked down and had no oil pressure but the motor was still quiet.

My crank is pretty screwed up so if I rebuild the stock motor I'm at least going to need a new crank.
The rods may need to be replaced in some cases. You would just have to look at the damage and see.

both motors i spun bearings in were very noticeable bottom end knocks and lost alot of oil pressure .when my last one spun i was at the strip and my car wasn't pulling like it should and i lifted and i heard the dreaded sound.a new shimmed ls6 pump will be a good idea to try to get back some psi back but it may still not be alot if cam bearings is wore.
