Default Remedy for crankshaft end play

My crank has more end play than it should and is causing a slight knocking sound. I discovered the excess play when I removed the rear main bearing cap to correct an oil leak. I would like to get some input from anyone who might have used a product like this rear main thrust seal to make the repair:

How well did it work and is it worth using? Since I have to dismantle the engine anyway to install it, am I better off just having the Babbitt redone?
