Okay, I've been around cars a while and can turn a wrench, but have never really understood the term, "spun a bearing". I know that the insert bearings have a locking tab that holds them in the connecting rod and/or block/cap(in the case of a main bearing). So when a bearing is "spun" does that mean the locking tab gives way and the bearing "spins" in the rod/cap? or does it mean that the bearing surface comes in contact with the crankshaft journal (perhaps due to contamination or improper lubrication)and does damage to the journal by "spinning" on it?
