I was able to pull both halves on #3 and they were very worn, but not down to copper. Number 2 rod which is fed from the same main was OK. I was able to polish the crank in the block with 600 grit and crocus cloth (picture is before polishing). Oil holes in the crank are clear; not sure about the block. I may end up pulling it; I do have a spare shortblock.
Your kidding , right? polishing the crank in the block? maybe thats why you have a problem with your engine now. How are you going to clean the grit out and other debree that the bearings pealed off? Do yourself a favor and pull the engine apart, clean and inspect it will be cheaper than just putting in another set of bearings and blowing it completely up.  
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
