[SEL] Pitted shaft & Babbitt bearings

[ED]

You guys are like me, figure out the hardest possible way and try it.  Think
of the pits in the crank a pockets to transport oil to help the lubrication
so just leave them a lone. I am a novice on these old engines, but I think
the best advice was to pore the bearings and scrape them.
