spun bearing...again? about 1000 miles ago i spun a bearing in my camaro. I brought it to a spnosor on here and had it fixed. Have been following their break in plan. Now today the motor has a squeel just like it did before when i spun the bearing. My oil is right where its soposed to be and my oil pressure has been fine thus far. I pulled the dip stick and the first time a few very very very small specs of metal on it. then tired it again and it was clean.....
how likely is it that i spun a bearing again????

sometimes it's not their fault per say. Have them go over everything very carefully. For example, I rounded off 2 cams in my GN. I blamed the higher spring pressure on the heads they installed, and improper break in. I found out after the second one that one of the lifter bores was not right, and the problem didn't show up with the smaller stock cam, but did when the bigger one went in.
Did you re-use the crank?did they clean out the oiling system of metal shavings.Was everything checked for clearances,is your car running too rich causing gas washing.usually if it blows up so early after a rebuild it is something to do with the assembly proccess.
