just buy new short block. you are going to have to drop the motor out of the car no matter what you decide on.
why did'nt you check your crank when you replaced the berrings?
you could have used plastigage to check berring clearance. would have saved a lot of time.
I'm not ragg'n on you dude, I'm just asking.
