Default Engine Guys HELP! Spun Bearings in the 6.0L

Guys take a look at these pics, the so called "great condition" motor has more spun bearings than not <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> The thrust bearing is thrasted and it messed up the crank <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

Does anyone know if they make undersized bearings for a crank that has been cut.

Here are the images of the bearings.

OUCH I think the "honest" guy in Oklahoma that sold you the 6.0L needs a little phone call. <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0"> I'd even be up for a visit. <img src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" border="0" alt="[guns]" />

Sheesh! Those bearings actually look better than some I've taken out of my car. Just got my crank back, so get the crabk turned and make sure the caps are true also. Last time I didn't take the time to ensure the caps were true, so I munched the bearings again. Had to have the mains align honed, cut the crank journals .010 under, and install 10-under bearings. Yes they are available from just about anywhere. The rod bearings are standard part number for SB Chevy if you need them. Just go the Carparts.com and search their site for the part numbers. Or you could call our new sponsor, ARE, and get the bearings from them.
