Spun a bearing
WTF does that mean when someone has spun a bearing?, like a Rod bearing or something?
What causes it, and how do you prevent it?
Also, what tends to kill a turbo charged honda motor other then fuel managment(or lack ther-of) and too much boost?

Re:Spun a bearing
The rod bearing right its a little half cylinder looking thing that your crank spins around on....
Well it "spins" around with the crank due to too much friction. Mangles up the bearing and the crank surface, so that the crank has to be machined and balanced.
Causes: Friction...from lack of oil/too much heat/improper bearing size/not breaking in a new engine properly/ not using assembly lube when rebuilding

Re:Spun a bearing
With a good A/F ratio and proper timing a turbo Honda motor is just as reliable as a N/A motor. However, there is a limit to how much stress stock parts can take, this is where too much boost comes into play and kills motors. People tend to think turbos blow motors well thats not true. Idiots kill motors, not turbos.
Spun bearing = you rod bearings went bad.

nah the bearings are fine. It's not a common problem from boosting the motors. what you want to avoid is detonation (aka knock or pinging).

Re:Spun a bearing
when u spin a bearing its usually a case where the bearings get chewed up and oil doesnt flow through them properly so there is a lot of friction created. the situtation will continue to get worst until the motor throws a rod out the front or back of the block. (usually #2 or #3) sometimes the bearing will wear down so much that it will actually spin arouund and sit on top the other bearing. change your oil regularly and make sure to keep all debris out when replacing the oil pan on the motor and you should be good to go.
