Thanks for the explanation. That’ll get me back on track.

I dropped the pan and pulled the heads to hone and re-ring the engine. This engine was stuck prior to my ownership. And it came with a set of rings.

The rod journal in question was not damaged. The remainder of the rods bearings and journals are in great condition as well. Only other damage that I’ve found was a handful of broken piston rings.

I have done some reading and watching for new bearing setup. I’m just trying to keep this truck on the road for a bit longer before the engine gets a full rebuild.
