Re: 2008 civic R18 spun bearing i would recommend you call the parts department at your local dealer and have them find the bearing using your vin # |

Re: 2008 civic R18 spun bearing There's no way the dealer can find out what bearings the engine originally had in it. Someone needs to check all the ID codes on the block, crank, and rods. Forget dealer bearings for now anyway. If it spun a bearing, that throw on the crank is wasted. Crank need checked and machined if possible. If it spun a rod bearing, that connecting rod is also wasted and needs replaced. If it spun a main bearing, the block journal is wasted but might be fixed with align boring (line bore). Drop it all off at the machine shop, have them work their magic and get the right bearings that are right for whatever they machined. Or drop in a good used engine? |
Re: 2008 civic R18 spun bearing The crank is now toast, and you now have metal bearing particles through the whole engine. Just changing the bearings that spun isn’t an option. At the very least, you would have to pull the engine, regrind or replace the crank, throughly clean the metal particles out of everything, and reassemble it. Other parts may be damaged from the metal particles as well. I would suggest finding a good used engine to put in. It’s almost always cheaper and easier to replace an engine or transmission that catastrophically failed than to rebuild it. Good luck with your project! |
Re: 2008 civic R18 spun bearing i used a reman crank from autozone in a civic. i thought it was great as it came with the bearings. the clearances checked out OK with plastigage. one oil galley hole in the crank had hard black debris completely plugging it in it which i cleaned out before use. i reused the rod in the car which was slightly discolored from heat but to the best of my ability was still perfectly straight. it lasted about 2 months with a soft footed female driver before the same bearing spun again. if i could go back in time, i would have thrown a used motor in that car. i'm very meticulous in my work, but i still failed to make a lasting repair. |
