I spun another rod bearing 3.75 KM's into my maiden voyage. Aparently the crank surface was far more worn down then I had first expected (when I spun the bearing due to an oil leak last season). So, New crank, new bearings, but do I need to replace the rod as well? It's scored from the bearing spinning, but its not a bearing surface. Will it crush and hold fine, or will the scores make it out of round and cause another bearing to spin?
Thoughts?

Replace the rod if there is even a question. Why gamble?

^ U can have them honed and run a larger bearing size.... but like he said, why take the risk?

Well, if I can get away with it I'd like too. Means I wont have to take the whole top end apart, but I mean, now is the time to do it. Either of you have spare s13 rods kicking around?
