Spun the rod bearing on #2. Trying to figure out my best options now.
New crank and rod is one.
Or have the crank machined? That would required oversize bearings then on that rod.Is it acceptable to have 1 rod with oversize bearings,while the others are standard?

I want to fix it right,without spending a mint doing it......
 
They won't machine 1 journal, it'll be all 4 rod journals. I'd get it turned down, get oversized bearings and put it back together.
 
New rod for certain.

The crank is supposed to be a non-serviceable part according to Mitsu, however I've heard some claims to the contrary. I'll leave it to you make that call. There are plenty of very strong opinions on that topic.

It is possible to do a single oversize bearing. But the crank should definitely be balanced if you go that route.
 
I'd say pick up another crank if you can, I see them go on classifieds here pretty often and they're not very expensive, probably less than what it would cost for you get it machined and polished.
