Just FYI.
If you spin a bearing and need a new crank, thats $7k AUD, or a new long block is $59K
Plan on keeping it for a while, I'd keep it as a toy/second car and get a new car if me or my wife got sick of it.

I've got these guys near me in Sydney, just flicked them an email for a quote on the work.

Since the car is my daily, perhaps I'll try and arrange to get this done next I'm away on a holiday or something so I don't need/miss the car.

Edit: Got recommended these guys who apparently do S65s and S85s all the time so will see what they quote.

Edit2: Quoted 4.8K from the above inc parts (ACL Race bearings). 2-3 days. Just working out when I want to get it done now I guess but good to know I have options in Sydney
