Yes ! You get to rap it smartly with a pein !

If the mains are worn enough
the con rod could push the crank to and fro , up and down .
the flywheels would appear to wobble , (actually jump around and
ammer  )but not just ONE of them
Both wheels will have to flop around before it could be considerd to have
anything to do with bearings .
 You want to prove it to yourself  ? take a tape measure and measure
between the wheels,  roll the motor around
180  degrees and measure again  . the numbers will be different if the crank
is bent .
One of the things I carry a tape at swaps for is  to watch for bent cranks .
They throw em off the truck onto the ground
at thats it .  Enjoy your new toy .
