The crank itself is undamaged.
I can re-use (don't wanna) the main bearings, but not the rod bearings.
The replacement rod bearings need to be for an 0.040 inch undersized journal on the already-machined-once crank.
I'm still looking for them. Got some possibilities in the works.
One expensive option is to buy a new crank with the standard journal diameters but only if the standard size bearings can be acquired.
Another interesting option is to have the bearings made from scratch.
I have an offer from a machinist buddy to make the bearings from McMaster 932 bearing brass tubing.
He's good at his craft, and can reverse engineer from the bad ones I have in hand.

Here's the McMaster Link for the curious.
