Yeah I need a new hobby. I have been pondering for the past few hours how to make this work out for the better. Good thing is that soon the new year will be here and that means tax return

Scenario 1: throw on a new bearing (if possible)
Scenario 2: get old crank machined and throw it in with new bearings. Porbably more work than its worth, and I don't think I can do this without taking the block out again, which means more time money and hoist rental.
Scenario 3: give up trying to get this damn engine running right and just go straight for the turbo engine.

Personally I wanted to go with #3 a while ago but I couldn't justify it. Once I open it up and check everything I'll plan what I am going to do. I have a feeling I will be turning in my tag and cancelling my insurance again to save some money. Sad thing is I already did this once and then went through the trouble to register it and put it back on the insurance, and I never really drove it much
