I recently had an engine failure that resulted in 3 main bearing caps cracking with one of them launching through the side of the block. Looking at these bearings and crank journals it's obvious I did something stupid and it resulted in a bunch of debris in the oil system. Do you think this crankshaft can be saved with machining? I can't feel any of the ridges with my fingernail.
This is what the bearings look like. The middle main bearing spun.
I have another 3B that's got a broken crank. Hoping this one might be salvageable. The closest shop to me that can machine crankshafts is 2 hours drive. That's why I'm seeking opinions before I spend 4 hours in the car.
