Then we found that the bottom is still bound, shown in the second pic below.

Not sure what we are going to do from here, getting to this point is pretty good for us.

Evening sir. I hate to break it to you but your crankshaft is toast. Thrust washers are chewed up and one can see where there was excessive heat on that crank.
I'm not here trying to take your money please understand that, however I am a mechanic and would be happy to help you with the engine if you'd like me to. I see your in middle Tennessee? Is that correct? I'm in Franklin just south of Nashville.
My name is Neels and my number is 307 seven six three 317four. Text or call me and we could work something out.
