Spun bearing
Apparently a common issue in the LSA world. But it’s part of the game I guess. Currently sitting at 703 whp. bolt on +e85 car. No cam, heads or internal work. Hopefully I can salvage block. I’m sure crank and bearings of course will need to be replaced. Any suggestions on upgraded bearings? Buddy of mine uses “king” brand bearings I believe. If block, crank and bearing are all trash. I’ll prob be in the market for a new short block or stroker. Any advice is welcomed!
I’ll be letting an engine shop put it all back together. And I’ll throw motor back in. I’ll also be upgrading to the melling 10355 HV oil pump, SS3 GPI cam while it’s out. I was using 5w30 oil at the time of it spinning. I’ll be upgrading to 20-50 VR1 oil as well. Once motor is back in the car. Will I need HV oil pump if I switch to VR1? I got a few LSA buddies running factory pumps with 850+ . Any other suggestions?
