Crankshaft question

Hello everyone, i am new to this forum and i have a question for some more experienced mechanics than myself. Any and all help with this matter is greatly appreciated.

I work for a moving company, sometimes moving furniture and sometimes fixing the trucks others tear up. I have been tasked with repairing a truck that had a clanking noise, i got the oil pan dropped and found out that the number 1 rod bearing has been spun. My question is, since it is the only one messed up, can just the one journal be turned safely without having to turn the rest. It is pitted a little but not bad, and wasnt ran very long at all after it spun the bearing.



thanks everyone, Rookie

 

if only the boss wanted to go that route, pulling motor and trans just to pull the crankshaft out isnt going to be fun, it is an 80s model cab over freightliner. and they rebuilt it over the winter and now that he has all the money in the rebuild, he wants to see if it can be fixed without having to do much else. but believe me i agree that it should be replaced or even traded off, but i dont see it happening.

 

it never lost any oil pressure which is kinda odd, and sounded like an injector that wasnt seated properly. but if we can get the one journal turned by itself we will probably end up replacing the whole shaft. We havent pulled the pistons yet so i havent looked to see if the cylinder is ovaled out yet, but will be sure to check it when we finish looking thru everything.

 

thanks lol i would rather replace everything and do it right, but the boss signs the checks, so i gotta keep him happy. so i can have the one journal turned and use an over sized bearing, is that what your saying?
