The bad news: My crankshaft is cracked in two places forward of the #2
journal.
I/we should have checked it for cracks before installation, but it was
supposed to be a 'new' crankshaft.
As someone said previously... you gotta' check everything and I/we did not.


The good news: My crankshaft is cracked in two places  forward of the #2
journal.
At least now I know why the #1 bearing spun. I hate when you don't know why
something failed.
Now I do.


Onwards and upwards!
Time to call the crankshaft supplier.

FWIW,
Kirby
