I screwed something up on the engine on my 1030 and ended up with a spun rod bearing. Can't figure out why it happened, but guess I'll be pulling it apart again to redo it. I know nothing was tight when I put it together because I turned the engine after torqueing each rod and felt nothing even remotely tight. Had 40 psi oil pressure when warm, so that was good. Guess it's good I have another crank and some spare rods. I checked the crank and it was in spec, but I didn't have it tested. Guess I'll be sending the other in for testing and maybe turning this time.
Is it possible to remove the crank and replace the rod without removing the heads? Could save the head gaskets if that is possble.
