I'm not expecting that it'll be that easy. It sounded bad enough that the crank is probably scored and needing reground. Tracking down a place to do any engine machine work is getting harder up here. But the crank out of the free 216 I got looks to be in good shape. Of course with babbit rod bearings, the piston and rod have to come all the way out to be replaced. Definitely not as easy as insert bearings.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
