Hi Dick.

Thanks for responding. I also hope there was no damage to the block and
crank. So, I drop the oil pan and remove the rear bearing cap. What sort of
damage should I be looking for? Any symptoms I should have been able to
observe while the engine was running? I take it that repair involves welding
and grinding on the block and crank.

Thanks,
Hugh
