Ls1 rebuild I spun a rod bearing on my ls1. The crank is trashed. Can i get away with just replacing the crank, bearing and rod without having to take the block to a machine shop? Does anyone have an idea on what my have caused this to happen and what i can do to prevent this from happening again? Thanks

What you are describing is a band aid and not proper mechanical protocol. Some poeple might do something like that to patch a car before sale.
Spinning a rod bearing like that needs proper rebuild.
