Re: Engine Bearing longevity on stuffed crank? (ST165 related)

i had two spun bearings in my GZE 86 and i drove it for a week....on the limiter. didnt blow. built toyota tough! id drive it a bit more before feeling to confident. if there is a problem with the crank then eventually it will just damage the bearing again and you will have to repeat the procedure.
if it does happen basically yo have to remove crank and have it machined and use oversize bearings. this is what im doing with the GZE.
(ps jaustech did the conversion on my ae86 before i bought it, looks like they did a pretty sweet job)
