I've got it all torn down and loaded up. Block and rotating assembly on the way to the shop in the morning. I want to do a re-ring - new bearings. I'll let the shop pro check things out to see if my idea is doable. If not, I guess there will be another decision process to go through.
Everything came apart really easy. There was some wear patterns on bearing surfaces that I'm not sure how to read. If you look at the pics and have an opinion, I'd like to hear it. This engine had great oil pressure and no knocking whatsoever.
Beginning tear down
Layed out on table
Main bearing #2
Few but not all rod bearing looked like this
Loaded up and ready to go
