Sorry to hear that and glad you plan to fix her. One question though, if it's a bearing, why would you need a block?

maybe he suspects that there are gonna be more problems with the current motor and just wants to start off with another one. i know that's what i'd do if i had bottom end problems lol

Low miles??? Those words bring bad memories of DrSnooz's "low miles" engine... :uh: ...
Maybe you may want to consider rebuilding the one at hand; you will know what you have put in there.
Take a look at Mushroomtoy's engine rebuild thread. If you find a machine shop, you won't spend a fortune rebuilding the bottom end especially if you can do the assembly work.

Just a thought... and I am sorry for the trouble.
