I'm starting to get scared.....more deconsrtuctions andquestions

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

1. hard to tell from the picture but it looks like there is a "groove" in
the bearing am I right ?
2. the intermediate crankshaft, well if your going to get the block "dipped
clean" you best get it off the block yes. And get the cleaners to also
install new intermediate bearinsg (2), and to answer your question, you can
get the Int. Crankshaft lightened or blue printed yes.
3. yep.
4. I did not change mine except one, but again the "dipp" place can replace
those for ya uif you want (so ya don't pop one INTO the block and end up
with much more problems :)

Btw I placed my engine pictures (in random orders on my web server (still
need to put tech note out there) so it will give you some ideas)

->Howdy all,
->
->Had to spend some quality time w/ the 3A and get ready for 
->the machine shop. Once the driveplate bolts were broken the 
->rest was downhill and pretty easy.
->
->The sordid details are pictorily presented (NOT in order) at:
->
->http://unrealexpectations.ath.cx/crank/index.html
->
->And now for more questions:
->
->1.) In the pic "bearings" you'll notice that #4 (the closest 
->to the block) has definite scoring on the bearings. Does it 
->look excessive? All the others have no such marks. I know it 
->doesn't mater on the connecting rod side as they'll be 
->getting new bearings but think it did nasty things to the 
->crank? I can't feel it so far if so.....
->
->2.) Should I take the oil pump/dist. drive shaft to be tested 
->and trued w/ the block and crank?
->
->3.) What do you think of the pistons? The have some scoring 
->on the non-sqirter side but otherwise look very clean.
->
->4.) Does the amount of sludge in the oil pan look 
->commeasurate w/ 106K mi.?
->
->5.) Will I need new freeze plugs?
->
->Enough noise and destruction for now. It's nite nite time!
->
->Tim
->
->A visit to a fresh place will bring strange work.
