All rod and main bearings had a 100thou spacer and one rod had one little brass shim left. She is wore out. Babbit still there so may mic and polish crank, repour rods etc and buy a shim kit from The Filling Station, clean it up, hone, ring. Chiity Chitty Bang Bang

I learned the cranks bend easy so they suggest spin it in a lathe and check runout. If bent, pry it back straight and roll on. Uncle Jed
