If you say so, but I would never trust a block that the crank had gotten into.
By the time you spent all the money for machine shop stuff, you might just have more money into a questionable block than a good used short block would be.

The damaged area was machines flat and a 2 piece spacer was installed behind a new (early 32V) thrust bearing. Apparently the early thrust bearings have a larger surface area and are better over all, especially for a repair like this.
