Not to high jack ur thread but.. i was wondering how rod bearings go out/bad? Planning on turbo charging my ride with 140,xxx on the stock motor and kinda curious about this.

lots of things could cause them to go bad such as, the crank not being balanced and causing uneven/premature wear, not enough lubrication, heat (heat will kill all).......blah blah blah......etc.....

im making a safe bet on the fact that i do 9k+ rpm's on stock internals is what torr it up 
i have extra part's all over to fix such things

oil starvation is the #1 cause of spun rod bearing
extreme heat will make oil lose its viscosity therefore depleting its lubrication properties.
spining a motor 9k when it wasnt meant to be spun that high will do that also...mostly because the oil pump wasnt not made to supply oil at that rate
also because the motor isnt balanced to spin that high either causing excessive bearing wear.
