My main issue is cost. I just don't have the money to spend upfront for the replacement so I'm doing it home as I can. At this rate I might have it running by the time my oldest can start driving in 4 years.
It seems as though your capable with tools and knowledge to work on it, time however may be another thing.
You could pull the crank/pistons and do a ring refresh, new bearings, and have them micro polish that particular journal and put an oversized bearing in that and replace a few odds and ends things in there along the way as you button it back up. Or locate a replacement salvage yard engine for a few hundred dollars and just swap it. It's faster, but now you have an engine with an unknown history to contend with in your mind.
