crank

[fast98rt]

ok i spun a rod bearing...so i tore into it and pulled out the bearing...what was left of it anyways....the crank didnt feel scarred up or anything....so i ordered down a new standard and an oversized bearing from orielly...i work at precision tune auto care so i have the luxary of a lift whenever i need it...the standard went in and still felt super loose...so i put the oversized inand it was all snugand sounded good after i fired it but after i few minutes of idle it was startin to spin it....so i came to the conclusion that i am gonna need a new crank....what do you think...oh and anyone know where i could get a crank cheap? all i can find is like $700!!! thats my neon what do you think?

Cheaper to get a new engine.

i just did that....i put a whole new crate engine in and i have less than ten thousand miles on it....and how do you figure a new engine is gonna be cheaper?

alot of time at a junk yard = cheapest way to go

I can get used engines all day for around $300...seems cheaper to me than $700. But seeing as how you just put a new engine in, I guess your stuck with that one. 10,000 miles and you spun a bearing??? Did you have any type of warranty on it??
