Salvage rod?

[half-cocked]

Can a rod that has been blackened by heat after a spun rod bearing be reconditioned and used again?

Take it to a machine shop and have it checked to see if it can be reconditioned.

if not just get another used rod that hasnt been through any abuse. They are a dime a dozen, atleast i have enough i could probably give you a dozen for a dime.

A rod that has been thew a spun bearing is in my opinoin junk. The rod got so hot and lost considerable strength. I would replace it with out question.

Get another rod. It could have it's streangth compromised.

This is sound advice... Get another rod... I personally will never use a rod that spun a bearing again in a High Performance engine... Most people won't re-use a block that crank walked so why re-use a rod that spun a bearing?? Rods are cheaper than a blocks are...

Thanks, I was just wondering because I have 2 sets of big rods hanging out in my garage and one spun a bearing.
