spun engine rod bearing
Ok, so my bro spun an engine rod bearing today while in vtec so we assume the dmg is the worst. What should be the cheapest route he can take to get this fixed? Should he rebuild the motor and fix it or should he replace the motor with new or used. he has an ap1 so if he were to buy an ap2, he would have more reliability and power with the cost of 8k rev limit we have 2,000$ to work with but can have around 3,500$ any suggestions?

find a used complete AP1 block? Thats where the damage will be

His oil does not register on the dipstick so the oil level is unsure unless we drain it from the car and measure that way.
We have family members who are very motor savy and would help us do the parts installation but our concern is what else was damaged in the process. The motor is severly loud post 3k rpms and we all agree it is the sound of a spun bearing.
Billman, Would it just be possible to replace the block, crankshaft and bearings and be done or is there more to it?

So the crankshaft was fine, only the bearing was toast?
Any shavings in the pan?
I just put a bearing in an s2k after a spun bearing incident, car is fine. Fast and cheap.
Any shavings in the pan?
