No, the crank bearings are seldom bad. Clean them up and inspect them. After cleaning, lube them a bit and roll them. If you roll them dry, I promise you will think you "feel" something, but it's not likely anything. Look the race's over and see if you see any pitting or damage. They seldom need replaced unless the engine injested dirt, or or never had an oil change.
What about the crank? Did you get it ground?

Thanks jmech. No I have not had the crank ground. I am taking the block and piston and crank in to the machine shop on Monday. The guy said he will check the crank and see what it needs. He may have to grind it, I don't know yet.
LOL sure enough, the crank bearing did "feel" like it had a stiff spot in it. But upon inspection and cleaning it looks and feels fine. Thanks, TB
