'Glad you caught it in time.

"Thumps" with No "Screeching" is still a sign of life.
But,with a "Scratched" bearing(s) [or Journal(s)] AND the "Thumps"

Zomezing may be about to "Spin" on you.

I'd follow vstech's and GP's suggestions AND THEN SOME...

All the Bearings and Journals (Plasti-gauged).
Since the engine is out...
Pull the Oil Pump and the Oil Filter Housing and Back Flush (With Pressurized Oil) the "Dirty/Un-Filtered side of the Oil System.
I'd clean out both the Oil Cooler Lines and the Oil Cooler itself ALSO.

With some old truck inner tube I scrounged up behind a truckstop used as a makeshift patch held on by a small screw down clamp, a new V-belt I carry as a spare, and I was back on the road within an hour or so.

The fix was so good I made the remaining 100 miles of my drive home, and could take my time going in the city to the MB dealer for a new trans. oil cooler line.
Joe,
The things we have got away with in the past never cease to amaze me. I can remember side of the road repairs that I have done & got away with that I would not even think of trying now!!
Ever run out of spares wheels on the coach & run a sexy single on the back?
