Of course "I AM" right!  I am -NEVER- wrong....... well, never say
never... Ever.

If the crank is junk, its the most labor intensive job you can do since
the crank is the first thing to go in the motor. If you do it with the
motor in the car, you gotta drop the tranny. (hard way) 

If you pull the motor them well, you pull the motor. Its a PITA either
way plus the added fun of finding a good used crank then the added hassle
of figuring out what size main/rod bearings to use and replacing the
front and rear main seals ect. All for one little crank key. 
In fact it's what was wrong with my 82 way back when I got it for $500.
