question
 

This has NOTHING to do with my car. Can you lose power if you spun a rod bearing.

Re: question
 

again...uuum...yes.

Re: question
 

Yessir...lose lots of power.

Re: question
 

I heard you gain HP when you spin bearings.

Instead of answering this question, Im gonna ask what lead you to this question?

Re: question
 

The reason I as asking was that a buddy of mine spun a rod bearing in his 98 honda civic and he was saying that it slow as hell now. He has a new motor for it so he is just having fun with it.

Re: question
 

should tell him that his VTEC bearing may be wearing out also. lol. jk. it should be obvious for the powerloss. My friend had a Sentra Spec-V and as soon as we heard the sound, it lost alot of power...and than it bogged it's way home. Nothing like towing a spec-v in the middle of the night for 6 miles :P

Re: question
 

When craig still had his talon he made 433 with a spun rod bearing. Then it totaly let go on the cruise to la cross last time.

Re: question
 

Spinning rod bearings = less rotational friction = mad powaz gain

Re: question
 

Less friction hmmm, thats why everything turns blue when you spin bearings...
