4 months ago spun a bearing in my 7bolt so I decided to build a 6bolt. 4 months later, the engine is completed and installed, first night out for the break in the aftermarket oil cooler line gets snagged on debris on the freeway and ripped it off, lost all oil pressure and didnt notice until it started knocking. Filled it up with oil again and put a new hose on it and worked fine with no knock (guessed it was the ACL bearings) for 2 days and now it knocks really bad. ROFL God Hates Me. So I won't know the the extent of the damage until I get it towed and drop the oil pan. Could I have just damaged the bearings (ACL Engine Pros) but not spun it? Well I know what I'll be doing, switching to Budism, towing it, and dropping the pan and pray.
 
Most likely any damage to the bearing is automatically gonna call for your crank to be re-machined.
