I would split the case to replace the bearings..... My thought is to set this engine up for another 20 years, since I'll be 'in there'.
I do not have a good handle on the motor's mileage, maintenance, or history. I would assume it has over 100,000 miles, although the odometer only has 43K on it. I bought this car at a fairly low price, with the expectation that, although it is a good running car, it would need some work.
