Default Re: new model A owner, modification questions

Ok so I found a couple issues with the rear main. The oil tube was missing causing most of the oil leaking problems. Also there is about .017 end play on the crank and the babbit on the front part of the main cap was broken. Will that in itself cause problems? Is it worth the trouble to remove the engine to install one of those brass type rear main seals to correct the end play? I know I have to remove the back part of the babbit, is that something that an engine machine shop needs to do or can it be done at home? Thanks
