Pulling oil pan
Sorry to see that.
Thanks for all the good pictures showing for the rest of us.
Sure you are bumming. Softer copper bearing insert material can transfer to the harder crankshaft making it look lots worse than it is.
Have to try a light polish on one of those crank journals to see if you can remove that transfer material and leave a smoorh crank behind.
Worth a look . . .
My backyard operation, was able to clean up the bearing insert transfer on this crank here on this low oil pressure stock 360. Bearings did their job and took the hit protecting the main parts. Polished by hand.
Good Luck.
Don't get too frustrated, things happen.
