You are kidding, aren't you?

IF you want a long lasting motor overhaul, pull engine, strip to short block
and have a  REPUTABLE machine shop repair the damaged crankshaft and look
for associated trouble. At present, there is metal throughout the oil
passages and the oil pump may be damaged, too. All piston and bearing
surfaces must be checked for scoring. Connecting rods big ends re-sized,
etc.

Stop pissing away your time and your money and do the right repair.

When you do get it right.....remember......there is a break-in period for
remanufactured engines.
