    Crankshaft movement

    I'm not a diesel mechanic expert, I have built my share of Chevy small blocks and big blocks, but something just doesn't sound right with that much play in the crank. Hopefully a diesel expert will chime in with some good advice.

    You shouldn't have that much up n down movement. If it was me, I would pull the pan and start checking the bearings.

    Crankshaft movement

    The weight if the flywheel might be pushing the crank into the bearings. Is the crank in the block without the rods bolted to it?

    When you pull the main caps, check for a spun bearing. If you find one that has spun in the cap you will most likely need a new cap and have to have the block align-honed.

    Crankshaft movement

    The weight of the flywheel is probably pushing the crank into the bearings. With the flywheel off its probably floating. I would pull the crank and see what's going on in there.

    Sounds like you have a bad crankshaft and most likely bad bearings.. Sorry for the bad news :( I would pull the crank out and look at the bearings, I bet some of them are beat up bad. Have the crank checked for straightness .
