I wouldnt consider this bad news!!! a new winter project is great, perfect timing. Now if it was in a brand new motor , in the dead of summer.... youd be bummin.
Use this as an excuse to "rebuild" do it once and do it right. Do your research on setups and try to match parts that will work well together. This will save you money in the long run.
I'm not sure how i spun the bearing, I started it up yesterday and it was ticking, so I had it towed to my mechanic and he called me today at work to tell me.
Yeah, its a good thing, I have a DD, I want to build a low 12, high 11 n/a street car, that i can drive to and from the track, but also nice enough to show.
