Pulled the oil pan off the the '57 to check on the deep knock. I found it, check out the video and pictures I uploaded on the link below.
I pulled the caps off of rod #1 and rod #2. Rod #1 was spun and hammered. Rod #2 was missing the bearings completely! The rod journal was toast; even had a ridge between the #1 and #2 rods. Didn't even look at the rest. I am not sure that the crank is salvagable or if I could even get bearings if I turn it.
Trying to decide how to proceed with the old girl.
