Get a new oil pump, rings, bearings if you dont already have them, get the block honed, new gaskets, and it also depends on what your goals are with it more info please.

You do realize that you spun a bearing and sent bearing material throughout the entire engine. I have seen lifters in the head destroyed from bearing material making it into the head. It also severly scuffed the journals in the head. The oil pump also expirenced excessive scuffing throughout the internal housing. The proper way to fix a spun rod bearing is the pull the engine and go through every procedure to clean the extremely contaminated engine. You must take apart the bottom end and the head and hot tank and clean every oil galley. If you don't your in for another spun bearing.

Agreed. Take your time, do it thoroughly, and you'll be satisfied in the end.

A quick bearing question. Are the ACL Aluglides a decent bearing? Or are the ACL race bearings a better option?
