Engine build help

There are some pretty deep grooves in the crank and the bearings are Clevite 77
obviously the crank throw will gave to be repaired, if possible, and go to bastard size bearings. I've never had problems with Clevite. Check the rifle drilling, oil passage, to that bearing and make sure there's nothing in the passage and the hole should be radiused. Was there any damage to the rod bearing on the con rod next to it? You should also check to make sure that the con rod on the bad bearing is not twisted. This will cause a rod bearing to let go.
