so what ya gonna do with it if its toast?

If you are only boosting about 6psi on stock internals you should be fine unless your car really wasn't running right to begin with or you just have the habbit of beating your car when you drive it. You hear most people boosting 5 to 7psi for years, but I guess its all on how hard you drive it and how strong your motor is.

Sorry to hear about your motor man!

yea i know, i didnt think it would be a problem. But i think i spun a rod bearing or something, im not sure what im going to do at the moment. debating whether to rebuild or part out and sell

How many miles on your motor?

Dude spun rod bearings are not that bad when cought EARLY....take to a trustworthy mechanic.....hope you werent reving it while knocking

there are 116k on the motor.
