Wow, an OP reviving a 5 year old thread

Carefully remove the main caps, take lots of pictures and post them up here. Don't mix anything up or drop it yet.

I'm assuming you don't have access to a bore mic and calipers to measure your clearances. You could use some plasti-gauge and see what the clearances are, although this isn't very accurate. You could measure, get new main bearings, re-measure, and they should at least be tighter.

I'd put a new oil pump in it too.
