spun piston bearing are my rods reusable

[awdspyder98]

Okay guys.. I was at the dyno the other day when I spun my piston bearing my number 4 cylinder. My question is will I be able to reuse my eagle rods or should I just order a new set. the motor was shut down right after the noise started which was about 3 seconds.. but enough to start messing up all the bearings. My # 4 piston bearing was flattened.. Im thinking due to oil startvation from a clogged passage way or oil pump failure.
The outer piston rod caps show no signs of heat marks at all.

A reputable machine shop may be able to repair it, I would definitely have it and the other 3 checked as well.

You need to get it check for out of roundness. If its out of round then it will have to be welded up and redrilled/bored. If it checks out ok then you could just bolt it back together, after you figure out why it spun in the first place.

Piston bearing...?

If you mean the rod bearings, only a machinist will be able to tell you. Sometimes things are worse than they look in pictures, sometimes things aren't so bad. Take it to your machinist.

There is nothing here to be welded, If the caps are not very blue they may be saved. The caps will be ground at the mating surface and then resized, clean all the oil lines the rest of that bearing is all over inside the motor.
