Thanks for the tips.
As a follow up, met up with my mechanic today, we agreed at this point to overall the crankshaft itself, filing down the journals and then refitting new bearings. They machined the crank today, it looks like it's in good shape and we're waiting on the new bearings. We've taken the oil pan apart and soaked it in solution overnight to remove any remaining sludge and we're checking and cleaning the rest of the engine to find any obvious clogs. This whole fix is costing me about $400.
I'm now in the market for a new crankshaft with matching bearings in order to do a proper fix. My sense (and hope) is that's the only major overhaul we'll need. Will keep everyone posted going forward.
Thanks
