That engine is well known for destroying itself and unfortunately bits are not available to repair them and if the bearings are shot due to lack of oil the bores and pistons will also be marked.

I run a garage in Dunston and we repair engines,also part of Fordparts so we see plenty of them.

Probably a waste of your money on bearings if crank is marked as it will just score the new ones and usually wrecks the rods too.

If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.
