Great, i have never experienced a spun bearing so didn't know what to look for other then metal in the oil. Was concerned that if the bearing had spun the motor would be screwed and wouldn't even turn over. But it seems that if not excessivily run then it is repairable, thanks for the info guys. I'm only going by what the seller had told me and i have my suspicions that he may have
been wrong in his assessment. I haven't heard it run yet, but when i tried to start it, it would even fire and then i found the distributor to be loose and rotated so with a little luck i'm hoping that is all that is wrong. Guess i won't know till, i either get it running or pull the pan.
BTW, this is a great forum, will be spending alot of time here in the coming days as i complete the restoration of my firebird.
