I had a similar problem on a M-37 and it ruined the crank. I had an old engine that had a cracked waterjacket and a good lower end. Pulled engine and turned it over, replaced the crank keeping the old bearings on their assigned journals and pulled 1 piston far down in it's bore, turned it 1/4 turn and changed the rod from the bottom. replaced the pan using silicone and spent exactly 0 yes zero dollars and had a good running engine.
