Quick update on the Montero:

Got the oil pan off and main webbing taken out this evening. Looks like all of the crank bearings are down to the copper and have significant lines all through them. Crank doesn't look too bad, but I can feel the grooves (barely) with my fingernail. Looks like I'll be in need of a good short block, or a rebuild. My gear head co-worker with a JY hookup hasn't turned up anything, and I haven't had much time to look myself. So if anyone hears about one, please let me know.

Or, if any of you guys know of a reputable machine shop that will do re-assembly, that would help also. I got a quote from a shop in Mesa, and they want $1100 for the machine work, but will not do re-assembly.
