The engine needs to be torn down inspected and cleaned. If you can't find another crankshaft you may have to have that one turned down by a machine shop and run undersize bearings. The connecting rod that had the bad bearing should be checked for out of round and may need to be reconditioned and I would replace the rod bolts as well.
