The only way I know to fix it is a rebuild. Take it easy on the engine if you cantch it you'll need bnew bearings but you won't need to do too much more. Whereas if you keep going with crankwalk you'll likely destroy the engine.

a 6 bolt swap as far as I have heard the 7 bolt motor even if built up still holds the problem because the main problem happens to be oil pressure and it is really bad when the clutch is pressed in to the floor at idle.

acceptible clearance is .002-.007", max .010"
.030" is when plate starts to rub on the sensor, and .060 is when stalling and ticking starts to occur
