If the crank is ground up, you know you'll be looking at regrinding at the very least, or replacement. If the mains look good, inspect the rod journals. Get as much inspection work done now, to know what you are facing for parts and cost. Just put everything back for now so nothing gets misplaced. |
Pan is off (and very glittery as you all fully called- I'll own that one. I'm very thankful I decided to listen to those who have been there and done that). I'm about to have a week and a half off for Christmas so I'll probably take your advice and tinker here and there.
