If you can get a new-to-you good condition crank, thats the best path. Check the bearing journals for the hell of it...
I know you can get RTV all over the place if you use it on your front case and/or oil filter housing. But I didnt. The only RTV on my engine is for the water neck and the oil pan, I highly doubt that any RTV got picked up through the uptake tube, and somehow made it through the filter.

I might be able to have it taken apart on sunday, stay tuned for carnage pics!
