Rod Bearing problem, My car knocks....and my mechanic said i spun the rod bearing.. Options

[BeefyT]

I starved my engine of oil and now i spun my rod bearing ....does anybody know how much or what u have to do to fix it?

Jeremy is talking about the "quicky an dirty" method. That kind of bearing swap ends with more problems in the end.

Your better off swapping in another used motor from a wrecked car.

So does anyone have any basis why my suggestion is the wrong way?
Something other than "it's not the right way to do it". A REASON why it's not the right way?

it's not worth arguing with you Jeremy, you type almost as much as you talk

That's because I try to take the time to explain things.

But on the other hand I'm not stupid either and I may be a girl but I do know what I'm talking about.

No, you're not stupid, and being a girl has nothing to do with it.
But I don't think you do in this particular case.
You obviously don't [or at least didn't] know anything about the procedure, so how can you say it's the wrong way to fix it?

This coming from the guy that thinks a vacuum leak on a 5SFE will cause the idle to drop.
From your posts you appear to be a pretty intelligent guy, you've come up with some interesting ideas, but you don't know as much about cars as you thing you do, your knowledge is far too narrow.

The BEST way to do this is to replace it with a brand new [or at least a factory remanned] shortblock, plain and simple.

Barring that, as long as your crank and rod aren't damaged, repairing your current engine is safer than an unknown engine.

Dropping the pan to access the bearing is one way to do it.
You can inspect the crank journal and rod end just as well that way as when you tear the engine all the way down, and you don't run the risk of warping your head or damaging anything else, and you also don't break the original seal on your gaskets [minus the pan].

There's nothing wrong with the owner replacing it as long as they have competent help, I never said that.
Their next door neighbor that does oil changes isn't competent help though. You had an experienced tech help you.
