thanks anthroop. i did check rebuild prices before i tore it down & to totally rebuild it would be almost as much another engine. i did buy another lrp .28 because i like the motor. however everything in motor still looks very good so decided i will buy the bearings ($15.59 for both) & see how much more i can get out of it.

update on my engine. i tore it down last night & found the inner crank bearing has enough play in it when it's warm that it was allowing the rod to srape the bottom of the crank case (ie: stalling when warm). so i'm thinking i may be able to just replace both crank bearings & be ok because everything else looks fine & the pinch is still great. what are your thoughts?
Yes if the bearings are the only problem then replace them both...but if it will need a crank/rod or piston sleeve also, then it is better to check the prices first.
