I can barely understand what the hell you are talking about (crack and rods? Bears?), but I think I got the jist.

Depending how bad and what spun, you may need a new shortblock. A spun main bearing can trash an entire block, and a spun rod bearing usually trashes the rod.

Ya usually a spun rod bearing will tear up the rod surface. Usually all that's needed for the crank is it will need to be turned .001. Then just get the oversized bearings and your good. A bad machine shop can screw some stuff up though.

I dont understand what bearing you could have found in the oil except a needle bearing from one of the rockers. What did the bearing look like if its just a needle bearing from a rocker you just need to replace the rockers not pull the engine.
