As a winter project I am planning to go through this motor. The one thing I already know is that one of the rod journals on the crankshaft has a flake off it about the size of top of a pencil eracer. When I put this motor back together 10 years ago I really didn't think it would run this long. I will just find another used crank but was wondering why someone doesn't make larger roller bearings so the the crank could be ground. Maybe someone does not sure.
