is car 4wd (Jx)????
the engine needs to be pulled, or if frisky read my front axle drop page. it shows a contributor, dopping axle to change the rusted through pan.
but you still need to fight around crossmembers

the bare block is only like 38lbs
just block and tackle (or dirt cheap come-a-long) will pull this very very light engine.
quoting my text page
one can walk around with block crank and rods like a babe in arms. (short block)
27+25+38+22=112 lbs (no cam) with fly.
block and head weight 90lbs with fly off (no cam)
max is 125lbs.... nothing really.
if fact with head off, one can just lift it out. by hand. 100lbs max.
i weighed each part, bored one day, waiting for new crankshaft.
you need to inspect all bearings. after all if one failed, did all the other get huge damage and only #1 was the weak link?
common that.
or the #1 bearing shell, has a clogged, oil oil in shell., common with RTV contamination.!
front pig gone.

sorry for loss of rod 1.
sad to see.
hope its limited to only the #1 rod journal.
my guess, is the #1 journal will be wreck. (it did seize, is my guess)
#1 is so close to the pump. wonder why it lost pressure... odd. (i bet the shell oil hole is packed in crap)
the oil starts here
![[Image: freeze-damage97w.JPG]](http://www.fixkick.com/engine/97-motor-pull/freeze-damage97w.JPG)
and enters main 1.
and travels thru center of crank to rod 1. shell, same way as #1 above
then feeds the hole in the shell. and at idle the bearing has 50PSI pressure, cold 10w-30.
the metal of crank never touches the rod side. or boom.
yours lost pressure at the rod.
if the main#1 looks bad, then the pressure was bad there, first. (looking at all journals and shells, usually tells you the FULL story)
each of the 4 holes (small) above keep the crank shaft inside gallery pressurized at all times, but the weak link is junk landing on the rod, shell, oil feed holes
it likes to stack up there, additive. and ends soon.
sometimes the crank gallery can packup.
