Listen to a story 'bout man named Phish

Did the bearing caps have any shim stock between them?

The stuff in the pan could be cylinder block material where the rings plateaued the cylinder walls, just a guess.

[Spyphish]

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

A place called Egge machine use to have parts for those engines. I my memory serves me correctly they had connecting rods that were converted for inserts. I took a restoration class in the 70s and toured there facility. .
