[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 115741, member: 2510"] With that few hours everything else should be pretty good, but I'd be concerned about how difficult it was to turn over initially. That could indicate that the bearing seized to the crank journal. Since it did turn, it might not be damaged enough to need reground, only inspection will tell. I had a Toyota once that broke a rod bolt and started hammering, I had another engine tore down and used the parts from it, and slathered the damaged journal with some soupy moly grease. It worked just fine for as long as I had it (several years), but it had nowhere near the forces that a diesel will generate on a crank journal. [/QUOTE]
