Ok I bought a 440 engine from a fellow racer for FURYIOUS. He had just bought the car with the intention of putting a stroker motor in so he sold me the engine out of the car. I’ve seen it run & have videos. 60 psi at idle. No smoke or noises. So today I decided to check the bearings. A couple of the rod bearings toward the back showed a small amount of were. Crank journals looked good except one had some scratching but not an issue. When I pulled the mains they all looked very good except #4. It looks like trash possibly from the oil galley cut into the bearing. Crank journal looks very good. My question is can I just replace this one bearing & install
the engine or should I have the crank checked which would require a full tear down. Which is what I trying not to do. Really not sure at this point
