so let me get this straight......it spun a main and it was never line bored? just slapped a new bearing in and went for it? if that's the case whoever built that motor should never be allowed near an engine again

I cant remember if it was a rod or main that spun but in know it was never line bored.. so basicly i got screwed twice. would it loose oil pressure if it was never line bored and they slapped a new bearing on it?

Worth the drive if you want one of the best machine shops on the eastern seaboard:
Burtonsville Performance and Machine
5210 Minnick Rd Laurel, MD 20707
(301) 490-3131

They've been building ltx/lsx platforms since the late 90's.
