What are the crankshaft numbers and the engine numbers please?
Timothy Shortle in Durango Colorado

The engine number is T0625RH and the crank is marked 8409.  According to the Junkyard Primer this is a long stroke crank.

I haven't gotten down to the bearings yet, but there were no loose bolts on the converter, no abnormal looking wear on the parts, and no unusual vibrations in the car before this happened.  I am not very experienced with Corvair engines though and I may be missing something.

Good question about that last bearing - if the engine has been rebuilt and the wrong one placed there then it could be the cause.  Will check that next.

Thanks for the questions and input.
