With the oil pan off, I found that my crank can move forward about a 1/4 inch and that the trusts have all been knocked off and laying in the oil pan.
The guy who rebuilt my engine about 2000 miles ago, says that is normal, no need to worry.
I say BS. He did a crappy rebuild.
I might be wrong and would like to hear other comments.

Get your money back for the babbitt job, and labor for taking it out, gaskets, all the parts to clean the block out. The only thing normal is he doesn't know how to babbitt, like a lot of other shops!!!!!!!!!!
