I have now removed the lower crankcase (was actually easy), measured the crankshaft bearing journals. The diameters are OK but the width at the thrust bearing location is a little bit off (but not much) because the thrust flange disappeared on one side.
What I am planning to do is replace the 5 lower main bearings halfs (those I can access). The reason is that I cannot remove the upper halfs because the crankshaft is still held by 2 bearings (I believe).
I know it is not a perfect fix but I expect this to work at least 20,000-30,000 miles.
I am hesitant to remove the entire engine because I have no idea how to detach it on the transmission side (I have an automatic)
I would be interested in any feedback.
