It may behoove you to check for warpage of heads & block.

The shoddy repairs from the previous owner, leaves a lot to be desired.

I will probably check both, and yes, with such gross negligence or just being completely beyond their knowledge, much is left to be desired.

Heads and block are nice and flat. Unfortunately, since rod bearings 1 and 2 spun, it seems to have given the crank nose a bit of wobble. Shop said about .004". I will get another crank and rods, plenty of reman'd and good used ones on ebay. Everything else is cleaning up nicely. I have opened every oil gallery including the oil pump, sump screen, cam screens and restrictors in the heads for cleaning and flushing. I will also disassemble and clean the cam phasers. Looks like not much debris made it past the oil filter. I cleaned up the cam journals with 1200 grit emery cloth. Should I go finer to really polish them back up? They're quite smooth now, just not polished like the lobes.
My wife gave me the caution tape. I warn everyone now.

Machine shop called back and said the snout of the crank has a wobble of approximately .005" so I did not have it machined. I have purchased a used ebay crank which looked fine in pics, was only $375, which I will have checked if needed when it shows up.
Why can't I find the engine measurement spec sheet in my service manual? I went to the appropriate engine section, then to the general section indicated but only found cylinder head info and nothing more than references to the block and rotating assembly.
Still checking oil galleries and cleaning. So far all is clean. The oil filter seems to have done its job well, though it was very sparkly!

When determining journal limits, diameter and new bearings needed, how the heck do I read the chart in the service manual to get real world numbers? All the places I see that sell new bearings list them as standard, .25, .50 or .75 mm oversize. This is not how LR appears to have written the chart. I'd love some direction on how to determine proper bearing sizing. I know how to measure what it is, I just can't make the dots connect between reality and the FSM.
