Spun bearings? How much to repair?

[CerealKiller]

Just wondering how much a spun bearing would cost to repair. (RB26DETT)

[T0nyGTSt]

Rebuild time.

ie. one must get to the bottom end of the motor.

Thousands to fix (mainly labour).

is it worth it or not?

the motor's only done about 65,000. sound like a lemon?

Sounds like we may be in a similar boat, only i have done 155,000kms.

Some ACl bearings will only set you back approx $200, its the labour getting to them and then perhaps a regrind of the crank etc if required that will cost the $$$.

Considering the prices of 2nd hand RB26s id go a rebuild. Excluding labour to remove and fit engine, a general rebuild of the bottom end, inc ARP rod bolts etc shouldnt cost you over $1800.

Talk to some engine machine shops and/or mechanics to get a better feel of cost though.

What makes you think you have spun a bearing?

[CerealKiller]

no, I don't have a spun bearing but I saw a GT-R for sale, and it's going for a good price ($24,500, has some mods so I think it's a bargain) but the only catch is that there's a spun bearing. Apparently the pistons are ok, just one of the bearings needs a repair.
