Default Bad Babbitt

This babbitt is bad---
The cap had some chunks of the thrust broke loose.

The crankshaft is .002 out of round.

There is a long term coolant leak through cracked exhaust ports # 2,and 3 (easily pinned)

The oil clearance between the flanges and the crankshaft thrust surfaces is .003

The crankshaft end play is .009

I am going to chop it out ---would you?

Yes I would say time is definitely up on that engine.
Looks like lead babbitt from the photo.Since you have the other issues plus the rear main. I would say now's the time to do it right.
