your head should be fine unless you dropped a valve and it went thew the head and busted the rocker and camshaft other than that head shoudl be fine. i thing there are no head bearings the caps that hold the cams in there have holes for oiling and act like bearing so you cant spin anything up there. usually you will hear the vavle train come apart in that amount of boost but since you havent heard anything most likely you spun rod breaking and could of shattered a pistion.

When you pull the cams you will be able to tell if the head is fine.

I would say if your building a stroker go ahead and get a 1g head and intake manifold.

I supose i misstated my self, i KNEW it was a spun rod bearing, but i was worried about head damage (mostly the cam shaft jurnals) from the various flakes of metal that i knew would be floating around my engine

here's the pix from my pulled engine

as you can see, despite the large amount of metal debre in my oil pan and bottom end, there are absolutly no scratches on the cam shafts or jurnals (i got lucky basicaly, i shut it down as soon as i heard the rod bearing spin and had it towed to the shop i work at)

This isnt a trouble shooting problem, this is a rebuild project, I cant afford to have my head done properly because the short block cost so much (2.3L from SBR) so I will be doing the head work my self, but as you can see from the picture, it looks pretty clean

Does any one have any tips on polishing up a head, or should i have it machined just to be safe?

the engine only had 68k original miles on it before i blew it up

Thanks for wasting my time with your totally "usless" post.

No it isn't NABR. If it was, you wouldn't have even been shown the courtesy of moving the post to another forum. The Extreme Tuners forum is not the place to show off your stupidity both in action and grammar. Read the damn rules as stated in the forum header.

Let me post them for you since obviously you couldn't find the time to read it:

One other point to add for all to read. This is not the Hangout. This is a forum for serious high level technical discussions. The assumption is of intelligent thoughtful discussions. Please use proper punctuation and grammar. I don't care if you 'always type like that' or if you thinking I am being a jerk. If your post, no matter how technical it is, reads like a writing of a 4th grader, it will be moved, closed, or deleted, period

Can you guess who wrote that rule and who enforces it?

If you can't handle it, don't post there. The thread was moved to an appropriate forum because you asked for "Help" with your "Problem" (Spun bearing and possible head damage). Sounds like a dandy match to me.

If you have any more comments about how you broke the rules or need more explanation, PM myself or Ludachris with the questions.

Tell ya what. You want to fix a head? Fix the one at the end of your neck.

Play by our fu(king rules, make an effort to get along, or get the hell out.
