Re: b18b spun bearing?
there is a letter on the crank and a number on the rod... based on this letter and number combination you can get the color... look in any manual... most likely you can't just put bearings in and it'll be ok.. you need to spec the crank and the rod to make sure they are still round... most likely they are out of round you need to take them to machine shop and hopefully they can fix it and stay in spec... also you MUST plastiguage... i've spun 2 rod bearing so it feels like second nature for me...

Spinning rod bearings will normally end up having shit shoot around in your block, normally having pieces of it breaking apart and tearing the fuck up out of your crank. You can either replace it, or if it isn't to bad get it machined down. Then again, you might be lucky and have no real damage... doubt it... but hey...
