Well i got the crank out. Looks like the mains are possibly just .001 under what there supposd to be. The rod bearings were nowhere near as bad as the mains, but i could see some copper in places. I did find some metal shards in the oil pickup, but i'm not sure where they came from. I saw a few different spots on the crank that looks rather rough, and wonder if they maybee came off it. Here is a picture of a spot that looks rather shady. Its tough to tell but thats a metal curly cue, and i was able to break the top off with just my fingers.

I found a Steel crank 440, and might end up building that, but man are rods and pistons expensive.
