I found a little surprise when I removed the crankshaft. The #4 main bearings had also spun. Interestingly that journal is actually the best looking journal on the entire crankshaft. The bearings were somehow not completely burned up, and the crank spun fairly decently. Remarkable that this engine still ran with what was just a light tapping noise like a lifter.

So I guess this block is junk and I'll be ordering a built short block for this car.
