> After school I took a look. You can wiggle the connecting rods on the crankshaft ever so slightly. The worst one felt like about 1/16" of play side to side. I know there's no way to tell for sure until they plastigauge it and mic the journals, but I am anticipating best case scenario a crankshaft grind and worst case, weld/grind the crank back down or find another crank already turned, or have it turned.
